Please I need a professional advice, my question is nor related to the topic but on speech, I have a non verbal autistic child, he would be four in August, we speak English at home teachers speaks German to him at kindergarten, I am particularly worried about the danger of the multiple language environment for him, please what is your advice on this?
Hello, thank you for reaching out! As speech is not a fully emerged skill yet for your child, we do recommend the use of 1 language as much as possible to avoid confusion and increase his receptive understanding which will be vital for the learning of functional communication. Would there be a possibility for a discussion with his school teachers to communicate with him in English perhaps? We would also encourage the use of visuals when communicating to him. We hope that this is helpful. Should you have further enquries or would like to discuss more in depth in regards to your child, do send your enquiries to enquiries@autismamalaysia.com and our team would be able to be in touch with you. Thank you!
Thank you❤❤
