Autism and Expressive Language Disorder

      Expressive language refers to the student's ability to use language to communicate information, thoughts, feelings, and ideas with others. Children experiencing a language communication disorder may not talk often. They may be able to understand what is being said to them but trouble communicating back with the person talking to them. One subject area students may struggle in with this disorder is reading. A student may be able to read or hear a story read to them but not be able to communicate back what the story was about or key components in the story. 



Teaching Strategies: Structured Teaching

  • Design/layout of the room
  • Minimize visual and auditory distractions
  • Provide distinct learning areas in the classroom
  • Organization

2. Visual Schedules

3. Providing appropriate support systems
