Big Idea
The communication skills of students with Autism can
vary from student to student.
Communication and Autism
Some students may be non-verbal and need a different way to communication such as through pictures or written words.
Some students are verbal but they do not know how to use their words to express themselves and they too need a way to help them such as pictures or written words.
Big Idea
Communication systems should be utilized ALL the
time in EVERY environment.
Communication Systems in the Classroom
Communication systems can be any of the following:
A picture book with several pictures organized by categories.
A picture board that has a set group of pictures created for a specific activity (i.e. a picture board with food on it for snack time).
A voice output device which is a device that when the student presses a button with a picture/word on it, the device ‘speaks’ the label.
Single pictures or written wordsTechnology and AT
Examples of Communication Systems
Picture Communication BookStudents use the pictures to communicate a
desired object or activity, to comment on something they may see, to ask questions, to answer questions, or to interact with peers.

When to Use Communication Systems
The student should be the one that carries the communication system.
The student should be taught how to independently use the communication system.
They should not be put on a shelf and utilized only during certain times of the day
Big Idea
A student should always have a way to communicate what they are thinking.
