As a student studying Speech & Hearing Science as well as the mother of children on the autism spectrum, this is one article that I’ve been excited about writing.  My newest submission to Suite 101 is Speech Therapy for Autism:  PECS, Electronic AAC Devices, Semantic-Pragmatic Language Instruction.  The article looks at three commonly used methods for increasing the communication skills of children and adults with an autism spectrum disorder.

 I have also updated my Autism/Asperger’s Syndrome Blog at Suite 101, topics include the 2008 Defeat Autism Now Conference, Red Flags for Autism, the Autism Society of America’s 2008 Conference, and a look at the Division in the Autism Community.  My blog will be updated weekly, please take a minute to subscribe to my Suite 101 Blog RSS feed.
