Robot like language

[parisa Daftarifard]

Dear Childes members,

Greetings

This is my second request concerning language problems of autistic children.
In Iran, unfortunately, research on child language does not suffice. I need
your help and knowledge to help this poor kid. He is recognized as being
autistic at the age of two. He has been exposed to English very early to "My
Baby Channel" which only shows cartoons and songs before he has been
recognized so. After being recognized so, he has passed ABA and many other
therapies. Now at the age of six, he has started a kind of language which is
somehow Robot like (he cannot connect voices fluently to say a word; instead
he says words in syllabic form for example instead of saying Daddy he says
..\.Da...D.i\) He cannot say some consonant and when I listen to his speech
I think he uses English sounds instead of Farsi; for example instead using
dental /d/ he uses English d for both Farsi d and G (as in bridge).

How would be possible to help this kid. As there is no pervasive
research and researchers on this language difficulty in my country, your
information can help us very much. you might not know how invaluable your
comments would be. Please help us with your experience, knowledge and if
possible any article I can use.

Best regards,
Parisa
