]]> Comment on Speech and Language Therapy for Children With Autism by Monica M. Casabella http://healthy-nation.com/speech-and-language-therapy-for-children-with-autism/#comment-19 Monica M. Casabella Sun, 07 Oct 2007 20:02:44 +0000 http://healthy-nation.com/speech-and-language-therapy-for-children-with-autism/#comment-19 "and individualized treatment (3). There are many different approaches to speech therapy and most of them are effective." Two comments: As a speech and language pathologist I must say that the article presents some good basic information. However, to state that individual therapy is the most successful approach to speech therapy is not a shared opinion among specialists. Collaborative therapy in school settings and small group therapy can be as effective in treating children with autism. In addition, children with autism tend to have difficulty generalizing skills and transitioning to other environments and situations. Once a child with autism gets used to "talking" with only one person, it's more dfficult for them to do so with others in small groups or in social situations. Parents have to know and learn that much of the treatment's success will depend on the severity of autism that the child presents. “and individualized treatment (3).
