The impact of speech/language
• CDC (2009) an average of 1 in 110 children in the U.S. has an ASD.
• DSM-IV defines one characteristic of autism as severe and pervasive impairment in communication skills, between 35-50%
• The communication impairments ranging from mutism, to echolalia, to higher social deficits.

Second language learners
• According to Lue, the number of students from diverse cultures is expected to grow to 24 million or 37% of school-age population by the year 2010.
• Children and youth with autism now have a “triple-layered” problem.
• Misdiagnosis of bilingual students in special education suggests an assessment in both native and English language.
• Collaboration between the ESL teacher, general education teacher, and speech-language pathologist is needed.

Communication strategies/resources
• No one strategy is recommended. Multiple strategies and resources recommended.
• Just like with autism, strategies have to be individualized to meet the needs of each student.– Simplify your language– One instruction at a time– Use visuals WWW.teachernet.gov.uk/_doc/6698/full%20document.pdf

Communication strategies for second language learners
• Just like first language learners with autism most strategies can be used for second language learners.
• One important difference is to be sensitive to the culture.
“Pictures are my first language and words are my second language.”
