4 Why are we talking about communication AGAIN! and Services (UCEDD) 4
5 Crux of ASHA Position on Providing Services to Students with ASD Problems in the use of language and communication are overarching because ASD is primarily a social communication disability. Diane Twachtman-Cullen, Ph.D. Editor-In-Chief, Autism Spectrum Quarterly and Services (UCEDD) 5
6 ASHA Position Continued These challenges result in far reaching problems, including difficulties with joint attention, shared enjoyment, social reciprocity in nonverbal as well as verbal interactions, mutually satisfying play and peer interactions, comprehension of others intentions, and emotional regulation. (Twachtman- Cullen, 2007) and Services (UCEDD) 6
7 What Type of Services Does ASHA Recommend? Services should be connected to FUNCTIONAL and MEANINGFUL outcomes. Preference is in favor of therapy in the natural environment. and Services (UCEDD) 7
8 Common Reasons for Denying Services to Students with ASD He speaks in full sentences Grammar and syntax are intact She did very well on all of the language tests Language skills are commensurate with chronological age Cognitive ability is commensurate with communication skills and Services (UCEDD) 8
9 DSM 5: Autism Spectrum Disorder Persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction across contexts Social-emotional reciprocity Nonverbal communication Developing and maintaining relationships Restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities Stereotyped or repetitive speech, movements, use of objects Excessive adherence to routines Highly restricted, fixated interests Unusual reactions to sensory input or interest in sensory aspects of the environment and Services (UCEDD) 9
10 Autism Spectrum Disorder: Communication Characteristics and Services (UCEDD) 10
11 Deficits in Nonverbal Social Communication Eye contact Gestures Facial expressions Proxemics Prosody How does nonverbal communication impact school success? What strategies can support the development of nonverbal social communication? and Services (UCEDD) 11
12 Evidence Based Practices Supporting Communication Practices from Applied Behavior Analysis including Task Analysis Discrete Trial Training Prompting Reinforcement Functional Communication Training Visual Supports Picture Exchange Communication System Speech Generating Devices Naturalistic Interventions Peer-Mediated Instruction and Intervention Video Modeling Social Narratives Social Skills Training Visual Supports ence-based-practices and Services (UCEDD) 12
13 Evidence Based Practices Nonverbal Communication Discrete Trial Training Visual Supports Video Modeling Social Narratives Social Skills Training and Services (UCEDD) 13
14 Delays in Developing Language Difficulty with joint attention and symbol use Does not direct behavior to another person for the purpose of communication Difficulty expressing wants and needs Difficulty asking for help May use little or no speech Idiosyncratic ways of communicating, only some can understand Communicates needs through behaviors What are specific strategies for working with students with ASD in these areas? and Services (UCEDD) 14
15 Evidence Based Practices Language Practices from Applied Behavior Analysis including Task Analysis Discrete Trial Training Prompting Reinforcement Functional Communication Training Visual Supports Picture Exchange Communication System Speech Generating Devices Naturalistic Interventions Peer-Mediated Instruction and Intervention and Services (UCEDD) 15
16 Difficulty Initiating and Sustaining Conversation Difficulty following rules for conversation (turntaking, topic maintenance) Difficulty joining or ending conversation Fail to respond to comments only responds to direct questions Conversations limited to preferred topics, interests How do skills for social conversation impact school success? Is this a priority? and Services (UCEDD) 16
17 Lack of Social-Emotional Reciprocity Fail to initiate or respond to greetings, social routines Mind-blindness (Baron-Cohen) Difficulty understanding inferences Difficulty recognizing other s thoughts, feelings, beliefs Difficulty expressing empathy How does the team understand these challenges? What is your role in intervention? and Services (UCEDD) 17
18 Evidence Based Practices Conversation/Reciprocity Task Analysis Naturalistic Interventions Video Modeling Social Stories Social Skills Training Peer-Mediated Instruction and Intervention and Services (UCEDD) 18
19 Lack of Symbolic, Social Imitative Play Unusual use of objects Difficulty using objects to represent other objects (e.g. pretending a block is a phone or a cup) Less likely to combine actions in novel play themes Difficulty cooperating Does teaching play have a place at school? and Services (UCEDD) 19
20 Evidence Based Practices Play Practices from Applied Behavior Analysis including Task Analysis Discrete Trial Training Prompting Reinforcement Video Modeling Social Skills Training Peer Mediated Instruction and Intervention and Services (UCEDD) 20
21 Repetitive, Stereotyped Speech Immediate Echolalia Repeats other speakers previous utterance Delayed Echolalia Recites lines from movies, TV Repeats words or phrases from previous situations and Services (UCEDD) 21
22 Repetitive, Stereotyped Speech Idiosyncratic use of language Unconventional verbal behaviors Repeats sounds, words, phrases Makes up new words Uses highly specific meanings for words, phrases Asks repetitive questions How does the team respond to language that is not directed for a social purpose? and Services (UCEDD) 22
23 Nonverbal prompting Strong use of nonverbal communication Visual supports Limit adult language one up rule Avoid repeating One communication partner at a time Slow the pace Wait and signal Avoid jumping in and Services (UCEDD) 23
24 So Autism Spectrum Disorder is a disorder of social communication and skill deficits are appropriately addressed by members of the school team throughout the school day. and Services (UCEDD) 24
25 and Services (UCEDD) 25
26 Communication Children may learn to talk or use alternative methods of communication But these have little value if social interaction skills are not developed to provide opportunities to use those skills for meaningful communication with another person (Frea, 2015) and Services (UCEDD) 26
27 Communication In order to achieve communication you have to have 1. A sender 2. A receiver 3. A topic of joint focus 4. A method of communication (Schweigert, 2016) Without the first three, the fourth has no purpose and Services (UCEDD) 27
28 The ability to speak, sign or label and point to a picture does not ensure that communication will occur (Janzen, 2012) and Services (UCEDD) 28

36 Symbol Use Use of conventional gestures Learning conventional meanings for words Using objects functionally Symbolic play Dog What is the impact on academic skills? and Services (UCEDD) 36
37 Symbols and Meaning What are some of the objects and symbols that your students enjoy? What stands in the way of connecting these to function and meaning? the brain develops as a network of interconnected pathways, and teaching babies these isolated facts, these separate chunks of disparate information, devoid of context, only creates little no-exit cul-de-sacs. (Roots of Empathy, Gordon, 2009) and Services (UCEDD) 37
38 What about Reading? There s decoding The rest is LANGUAGE!! How do we make sure one is connected with the other?!!? and Services (UCEDD) 38
