Speech Delays and Language Concerns

 

 Back to:  Therapist Questions & Answers - Speech & Language Concerns

My child is 4-1/2 and has autism and his language is starting to come with single words. How can I encourage language? We don't have a speech therapist in Bahrain that could help me. I am just trying my best through the internet. Can you help me in looking for a website and programs that I can help my son in his language?

Regarding your similar question from today, many children with autism find success in learning language and functional communication skills by using either Sign Language or a Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS). These are two methods that you can begin using at home with your son. Below are some websites where you can access information on using Sign Language and PECS: Polyxo and visual support; Sign language; Autism news; Autism disorders.

Hopefully these resources will get you started in the right direction for helping your son acquire a means of communication.
