Understanding Speech and Communication Development in Autism

This video explores how autistic children develop speech and communication, and why their language patterns may look different from what parents expect. You’ll learn how factors like emotional security, predictability, and familiar routines can influence a child’s willingness to experiment with words and expressive communication. The module also highlights how repetitive language, scripting, or delayed speech can serve meaningful purposes in a child’s development. This understanding helps parents see the broader picture of how communication unfolds over time.
