How do we Improve communication?

Treatments to improve communication should include and “intensive, early intervention that focuses on the frequency, form, and function of communication acts” (Paul, 2008). During these highly structured treatment sessions, it is important to allow the child time to process and initiate his actions. All too often we want to “jump in” and tell him the correct action. ASD individuals often demonstrate a weak CC and the ability to understand things more globally, therefore later treatment sessions should also challenge the communication skills across many situations, and with other peers.
