what is the best strategy to develop the communication skills of children with autism?PECS or Makaton signs?
my friend has two children with autism.she just wants to know which is the best strategy to develop their communication skills.
PECS stands for Picture Exchange Communication System. The picture symbols most commonly used are Picture Communication Symbols (PCS) and are made by Mayer Johnson’s Boardmaker software. PECS uses picture representations of object, action, person, and attributes (descriptions). The picture representations can be in the form of PCS, photographs, Clip Art, magazine pictures, product labels, etc… Some children may do better using object representations instead of pictures but the exchange system remains the same.
The PECS training is a 2-3 day training for SLPs, teachers, and parents so it’s difficult to give you detailed information in YA. If you would like more ideas/tips how to implement PECS properly, please e-mail me. I will be happy to help.
For PECS workshop and product information, go to http://www.pecs.com/index.php
I have used Makaton in the past and am not a big fan of it. I find individuals with Autism learn best with visual supports in the form of pictures &/or written words. As a speech-langauge pathologist, I would not recommend using PECS alone. A multimodal approach is much more effective for functional communication. Communication boards, picture schedules, social stories, repetition, literacy-based instruction, sign language/gestures, etc… are all beneficial in increasing expressive, receptive, and pragmatic language skills.

If you meanNew York City, I think you could improve your skills simply by spending a day shopping. Theres alot of speaking involved, if you’re with someone else. If you mean the state of New York in general, then I would suggest getting some kind of tour, in a garden or something to that effect. You could learn something new and improve your speaking skills.

What books/workshops do you suggest to increase my Communication Skills in an informal setting?
I want to increase my communication skills in an Informal Setting especially when with a large group of Friends,or with a distant Uncle. It is not that I am awful in dealing those kind of situations but I would like myself to be much more confident and more expressive.
Any books or Workshops or Videos idea are welcome.
I attended a workshop conducted my a gentleman named Michael Hargrove a few years back that proved to be very beneficial in the career I was working in. He conducted a 1-day workshop that covered not only verbal communication skills, but also body language, mannerisms, facial expressions & tone. His training seminar also touched on the ways that different personality types respond when speaking and processing their thoughts before responding to verbal prompts. Communication and human interaction is SO MUCH MORE involved than just a persons words. Although I was there for the benefit of my automotive sales career, I believe Mr. Hargrove conducts these success seminars for other vocational fields as well, if he doesn’t he should! He is somebody I’d google up and look into….GOOD LUCK!
