However, this term I am required to teach a couple of courses on preschoolers with specific language impairment (NOT autism spectrum disorder) and interventions for this. I found some very helpful chapters in a book edited by Rebecca McCauley and Marc Fey (2006) called "Treatment of Language Disorders in Children" (the published of which is Paul H Brookes) and I noticed that there were three chapters relating to interventions appropriate for children with autism spectrum disorders. These include:<br>
<br>Luigi Girolametto & Elaine Weitzman "it takes two to talk - the Hanen program for parents: early language intervention through caregiver training (I googled Luigi Girolametto for you and his email address is E-mail: <a href="mailto:l.girolametto@utoronto.ca">l.girolametto@utoronto.ca</a><br>
<br>M. Charlop-Christy and C. Jones "the picture exchange communication system: nonverbal communication programmes for children with autism spectrum disorders"<br><br>M. Romski, R. Sevik, M. Cheslock & A. Carton "the system for augmenting language: ACC and emerging language intervention<br>
<br>One thing I liked about this volume was that it included a DVD of the various therapy techniques, which was really helpful in working out what they did.<br><br>I also did a little search on <a href="http://www.scholargoogle.co.uk/" target="_blank">www.scholargoogle.co.uk</a> and found this recent randomised controlled study of whether the hanen intervention helps improve communication in children with autism spectrum disorder and it appears to (at least with younger children).<br>
<br>I'm sure there is quite a bit of research out there - I also found this website via google, which might help you to research further <a href="http://www.researchautism.net/pages/welcome/home.ikml" target="_blank">http://www.researchautism.net/pages/welcome/home.ikml</a><br>

<div class="h5">Dear Childes members,<br><br>Greetings,<br><br>I am working on kids with special problems in language. One of the<br>cases is 6 years old and diagnosed with autism. He has recently<br>developed a Robotic language and although was not able to talk at all<br>
but at this age he started using very limited words concerning his<br>need. His language is not creative though. Is there any way to help<br>him to change his Robotic language to normal speech. Isn't it late for<br>him to reach this end?<br>
<br>I appreciate your help and advice in advance.<br>Best,<br>Parisa<br><br>--<br>Parisa Daftarifard<br>Phd Student of TEFL<br>IAUSR<br>Faculty Member of IAU (Tehran South Branch)<br><br></div></div>--<br>
