How Does Speech Therapy Help Autism Patients Communicate Better?

In cases where verbal communication remains limited, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) methods come to the forefront. Speech therapists introduce autism patients to AAC tools like communication boards, picture exchange systems, sign language, and communication apps. These aids empower individuals to express their thoughts, needs, and emotions effectively, fostering independence and reducing the frustration often associated with communication barriers. – PowerPoint PPT presentation
