Means of acquiring language skills and improving educational opportunities for children with autism

Abstract

This research addresses the topic of language acquisition and improving educational opportunities for children with autism, highlighting the importance of using appropriate educational methods to support their abilities, while taking into account their unique developmental and social needs. The research defines autism and its most prominent features as a developmental disorder that affects social and linguistic communication and is accompanied by stereotypical behavior and isolation. It also highlights the importance of educational methods such as picture learning, interactive cards, sports activities, music sessions, electronic games, and educational robots, which help develop communication, pronunciation, and attention skills in children with autism. The research also discusses the characteristics of autism disorders in the areas of communication, social interaction, interests, and activities, and highlights the importance of using therapeutic programs such as behavior modification, psychotherapy, drug therapy, and structured educational programs such as TEACH and integration programs. The research emphasizes the importance of early intervention, educating parents on ways to interact positively with their children, and designing activities and programs tailored to each child's abilities. This contributes to improving learning opportunities and developing language and social skills in children with autism.
