Verbal Skills
This type of therapy can help some people improve their spoken or verbal skills, such as:
. Correctly naming people and things
. Better explaining feelings and emotions
. Using words and sentences better
. Improving the rate and rhythm of speech
Speech Therapy can also help with:
. Strengthening the muscles in the mouth, jaw and neck
. Making clearer speech sounds
. Matching emotions with the correct facial expression
. Understanding body language
. Responding to questions
. Matching a picture with its meaning
Nonverbal Communication
Speech-language therapy can
also teach nonverbal communication skills, such as:
. Using hand signals or sign language
. Using picture symbols to communicate (Picture Exchange Communication System)
Speech-language therapy activities can also include ways to improve social skills and social behaviors. For example, a child might learn how to make eye contact or to stand at a comfortable distance from another person. These skills make it a little easier to interact with others.

ASD occurs in all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups, but is about 4 times more common among boys than among girls.
For over a decade, CDC’s Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network has been estimating the number of children with ASD in the United States. We have learned a lot about how many U. S. children have ASD. It will be important to use the same methods to track how the number of children with ASD is changing over time in order to learn more about the disorder.
