Abstract
Visual language and augmentative communication systems for individuals with pervasive developmental disorders and autism are presented as both a legitimate language and an effective strategy. Using the natural aided language paradigm and picture symbols or printed words, language stimulation is implemented in natural environments to increase communication, interaction, participation, and compliance. Methods for choosing target environments, generating appropriate vocabulary, creating interactive language boards, and implementing them with appropriate communication partners are described. Samples of environmentally specific language boards are included. Effective strategies for inclusion, behavior management, leisure skills, and cognitive activities are targeted through visual language systems and augmentative communication.
