How to Talk to a Child With Autism Spectrum Disorder

A lot of times kids with ADHD and ASD, they have great vocabulary and lots of vocal behavior but they don't use their words in the right way. So what we really want to do is teach appropriate replacement behaviors that lead to positive outcomes for your child on social situations. One basic strategy is modeling where you're providing a model of vocal phrases for kids to use. Sometimes kids with autism may emit some echoelelic behavior where they repeat vocal models.
