Abstract
Deficits in social communication and language are a primary component of ASD, with the majority of individuals requiring treatment in these areas. Communication delays are often the first concern parents notice in their children who are later diagnosed with ASD, and therefore, the speech-language pathologist (SLP) is often the first referral source. Selecting an appropriate intervention approach, matched to a child’s symptom profile and familial needs, is critical and can be challenging given the growing number of interventions available. Interventions that vary in theoretical framework and strength of empirical support have been developed to target the core deficits of ASD. This chapter provides an overview of interventions and practices aimed at improving communication and language skills in ASD. Naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions (NDBIs) are informed by both behavioral and developmental principles and incorporate the strengths of both perspectives. These interventions, which include comprehensive treatment programs as well as more focused intervention practices, have shown particularly positive effects on language and communication outcomes of young children with ASD. Common features and specific examples of NDBIs are described, highlighting the role of the SLP in implementing these interventions. In addition, focused intervention practices commonly used by SLPs, in conjunction with other treatments or within comprehensive treatment programs, are discussed, with a summary of empirical support provided.
