Expressive communication is a broad term that describes how
a person communicates their wants and needs. This includes verbal and nonverbal
communication such as facial expressions, gestures, vocabulary, and syntax. Students
with autism suffer difficulties in using expressive communication. This creates
many difficulties for students with autism because they will not be able to
communicate the way they want with family, friends, or teachers. Students with
autism will have difficulty in social interactions and communication with
others. There are different ways that teachers can help students who suffer
with poor expressive communication skills such as: teaching them to ask for
help when needed, building off of the students strong points, providing scripts
or templates, and simple things such as pausing and giving students more time
to think.
