A. Speech delay in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is quite common, as communication challenges are one of the core characteristics of the condition. Children with ASD may have difficulties in both understanding language (receptive language) and expressing themselves (expressive language). Some children may have limited vocabulary, struggle with forming sentences, or may not speak at all. Others might use alternative methods of communication, such as gestures, sign language, or augmentative communication devices. Early intervention is crucial for improving speech and language skills in children with ASD. Speech therapy can be highly effective in helping them develop communication skills. The therapy is tailored to the child's needs, focusing on things like increasing vocabulary, improving sentence structure, and using social communication appropriately. Additionally, parents and caregivers can support speech development by using clear and simple language, encouraging communication in various forms, and providing a consistent routine. Each child’s progress varies, so patience and individualized strategies are key to supporting their development.
