Top 3 strategies to boost communication for children with Autism 👇

Here’s 3 evidence-based strategies to start building communication at home:

- Use visuals consistently (pictures, signs, schedules etc.) These create routines that help make communication more predictable

- Follow your child’s lead in play. Join in their interests to build connection

- Pause intentionally to give space to respond. Give additional time for your child to respond

These strategies work well for all children but especially with our little ones with ASD.

Want guidance on how to effectively use these with your child? Book a free consultation with Ms. Jessie, our Autism Specialist SLP, today!

Did you know there are two main ways children learn to communicate? 🧠

Some children are analytical language processors, learning language one word at a time. They start with single words like, “ball” and gradually build longer sentences like, “I want the ball”

Some children are gestalt language processors, who learn language in chunks or scripts. They might say a whole phrase they’ve heard rather than one word and building on it, like “I don’t want that!” And later break it into smaller parts to create new sentences.

Understanding how your child processes language helps us support their unique communication journey!

Whether your little one is piecing separate words together or speaking in scripts, both styles are completely okay and amazing ❤️

We’ll have a few more posts coming in regards to gestalt language processing to help give you more insight on how some of our little ones communicate.

There’s so much to know about GLP and the recognition and understanding of gestalt language processing has become more widespread in recent years and we’d love to help you learn more about it 🤗
