More often than not, individuals diagnosed with autism are also diagnosed to have speech and/or language deficits that significantly affect their ability to communicate. Individuals receive a speech/language assessments and are then recommended to receive speech/language therapy services with various goals and objectives. With the various and sometimes numerous concerns in the speech/language development of children with autism, it can sometimes be overwhelming to navigate through the information and the responsibilities involved in speech/language therapy. Under the premise that family is always considered as the primary caregiver of the individual with autism, this seminar will discuss some principles involved in speech/language therapy and how to implement strategies to facilitate development of communication skills and to more effectively follow-through in the individual’s home setting.
