I work with special education students from inner city Boston who have been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. My students are all placed in preschool classrooms designed specifically for children with Autism. Each class has nine children, one special education teacher and two aids. Every student with Autism has some degree of receptive and expressive language delay. In addition to intensive speech therapy these students often require special symbols and pictures in order to communicate their knowledge. Research has shown that they are far more successful when the pictures are in color. All of my students requires multi-sensory instruction in order to acquire language. My non-verbal students require color printed pictures in order to "talk" about the activities presented as well as to ask for their most basic needs. My partially verbal students require additional printed pictures to expand their language.
