- Stimulus-equivalence procedures have shown potential in teaching second-language skills to individuals with autism, addressing second-language learning challenges.
- Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) and Speech Generating Devices (SGDs) are frequently used to supplement or substitute language development delays in individuals with ASD.
- The Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) is an evidence-based practice focusing on picture or 3D item exchanges for individuals with minimal speech, leading to improved spontaneous speech and reduced problem behaviors.
- Sign language, such as Makaton and American Sign Language (ASL), is effective for communication in individuals with ASD, aiding their language development.
- Educators aim to model nonverbal behaviors, but direct teaching might be necessary for effective learning in individuals with autism.
- Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is effective in teaching complex language to children with autism, improving language skills, conversation skills, and assertive responses.
- Individuals with ASD experience challenges in social communication, including difficulty in social interaction, impaired social-emotional reciprocity, and nonverbal communication challenges.
