It is important to understand the difference between the terms language, speech, and communication to better understand autism. Summarize the module’s definition of speech, language, and communication. Speech: One method of language expression is speech. It is the capacity to employ every spoken sound found in each language. Speech is an oral motor ability that develops in accordance with a specific motor pattern. By the age of five, most kids have mastered all the spoken sounds in their language. Language: Language is a formal symbol system with morphology, semantics, and syntax as its structural components. Language can be oral speech, sign language, or written language. Communication: an exchange between two or more people to convey ideas, needs, feelings, or news. Communication is always changing and is focused on interactions with others 2 Why is it important to recognize the difference between speech, language and communication in individuals with autism spectrum disorders? It is important to recognize the difference between speech, language, and communication in individuals with autism to better understand autism. 3. Receptive and Expressive Language are two language skills that develop from infancy. Summarize the module’s definition of receptive and expressive language. Receptive Language: the ability to understand semantic, morphological, and syntactic rules found in a language. Expressive Language: the ability to use written or oral language. Expressive language focuses on how someone uses the words they produce to express what they are thinking and feeling. 4. Summarize the Modules Explanation of a. Language comprehension is directly applied
the receptive language impairments frequently observed in individuals with autism a. Receptive: Context-Specific Comprehension: b. Receptive: Poor Comprehension of Abstract Social Concepts: c. Receptive: Literal Comprehension: to the social context. Those who have autism struggle to understand the connection between the words and the social setting. Because of this, people usually interpret what they hear based on what they see in their surroundings, which makes it harder for them to comprehend what is being said. b. Autism sufferers frequently pick up on meaningful words and concepts, but they may find it difficult to understand more abstract concepts whose meaning is dependent on social and emotional comprehension. Autism makes it challenging for the affected individual to understand social terms whose use is connected to social and emotional interactions and interpersonal communication. c. Following a word or text's basic, specific meaning without any interpretation is known as literal comprehension. Comprehending is literal when a listener ignores the speaker's social cues and the relationship between what has been said and the social context. People with autism are frequently very literal. They are not able to decipher social cues such as a speaker's tone of voice or facial expression in connection to what they are saying. Rather than deciphering social cues, they depend on "out-of-context" language or bodily cues from their environment. People frequently misunderstand and misinterpret what others are saying as a result, which leads to confusion. 5.

Expressive: Verbal Rituals in Individuals with Speech: c. Expressive: Benefits of Augmentative and Alternative a.

Whereas immediate echolalia refers to the repeating of a word or phrase that was just said by someone else, delayed echolalia refers to the use of a word or phrase that was previously heard but is later used "out of context." Echolalia is observed in the majority of autistic children who learn to speak. Understanding this aspect of their expressive language is essential because
