Receiving an Autism diagnosis for a loved one can be a challenging and emotional experience. Communication is essential for building relationships, expressing needs and desires, and participating fully in the world around us. Persons with Autism possess unique strengths and abilities, and promoting their language skills is a key component to unlocking their potential.
