Current statistics show that 1 in every 150 children are being diagnosed with Autism. Many of these children present with complex communication needs, requiring support of AAC strategies, both low and high tech. Over the past year the Tango, a speech generating device, has been providing many children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) the support to begin communicating more effectively at home and in school. The Tango’s unique Communication First language organization is providing children with the opportunity for increased communication and engagement, which in turn is leading to longer and more gratifying interactions, as well as greater opportunities for increased learning. This session will look at various children who present with ASD and review the Tango’s multiple communication modes that support their communication and language learning.
