Hearing your child utter their first words is a magical experience for parents, but the experience can be quite different for parents of children on the autism spectrum. Autism might mean waiting longer for those precious words to be spoken. Or, if your child is nonverbal, you don’t know if those words will ever come, so you celebrate different (and equally special) milestones. In this issue, our theme is Speech and Communication Skills. We’ve packed our pages with tips, ideas, and techniques to help children of all abilities to thrive at their own level: whether it’s progression through language, or through a less traditional mode of communication.
