Speech Pathologists’ Approach Selection for Children on the Autism Spectrum with Complex Communication Needs
Among children on the autism spectrum, communication deficits present as just one of the many core symptoms. Intensive and early intervention strategies have been found to increase language and communicative behaviors. Although verbal expressive language is viewed as the ultimate long-term goal for those on the autism spectrum with complex communication needs, a multitude of communication modalities are necessary to become functional communicators. The present study will investigate current and future speech-language pathologists’ selection and perception of efficacious approaches and interventions in the treatment of school-aged children on the autism spectrum with complex communication needs as well as obstacles associated with implementation.
Thank you,
