One of the highest and most predominant pervasive developmental disorder diagnoses
today amongst children is a neurological condition onset from early childhood, known as the
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Autism affects a persons ability to communicate,
understand language, play and relate to others (Robertson, T., & Long, T. (2008)). With
individuals who have Autism, if the individual is nonverbal, and does not know how to read,
provide picture cues that can assist in reading the lyrics, as well as present images of the
activities in sequential order and using First, Then statements. Through targeted activities,
participants will learn effective ways of communicating with others. Be cognizant of the amount
of sensory stimulation in the environment, try to reduce the amount of sensory information for
the individual.
