Language Acquisition

Language and Communication can look different in a lot of ways, but the end result is always the same - the receiving and decoding of messages across two parties. All children start developing language from the day they’re born, often through relationships and play with other people. However, it can be harder for autistic children to learn and use language than it is for typically developing children.  Many of the factors that make children with autism unique can also lead to them not getting as many natural chances to develop their language skills as their peers.
