Learn research proven strategies to assist children with autism in developing

speech and refining articulations skills. These strategies, based on

research in the fields of speech-language pathology and applied behavior

analysis are

especially appropriate for children who are experiencing difficulty in

development of speech and may also have a diagnosis of " verbal apraxia " .

Methods to

systematically shaping functional verbal communication in children with

limited verbal imitation will be addressed. Application of Kaufman's hierarchy

of

vocalizations and use of simplified " word shells " with this population will

also be explored. These strategies, viewed through the framework of Skinner's

analysis of verbal behavior can be implemented in a home or school based ABA

program
