Expressive Communciation

Students with disabilities have a hard time to do things that others take advantage of each day. autistic students sometimes are non-verbal and unable to communicate their needs and wants. Therefore, these students need extra attention and effort to help communicate their wants and needs.


Expressive Communication disorder has two types, developmental type and acquired type. The students have a difficult time expressing themselves. They can not put sentences together and have a hard time with pronouncing words. They have the ability to understand the speech, but cannot respond. This can be frustrating for students to not have their voice heard. Therefore, there are laws that have been passed such as IDEA, to allow these students to receive the tools they need. Their IEP can be evaluated and AT devices can be added.


In the next few post I will be talking about different strategies and tools that can be used in a classroom for students who have difficulty communicating.
