Language learning difficulties are a common problem in children with Asperger's Syndrome (AS). To mark International Asperger's Syndrome Day, we've dedicated a special blog post to tips and games that can help stimulate language development in children with AS.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

What language difficulties do children with Asperger Syndrome have?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Interest patterns in children with AS are also different in communication and how they use language to express themselves. For example, they may extend themselves by repeating only one topic, talk for a long time or have long moments of silence and absence, in which they do not react to what is demanded of them from their environment.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In terms of speech, while some children with Asperger's syndrome speak normally, others may adopt unusual tones or rhythms. For example, in some cases, a child may speak very slowly or very quickly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Finally, we can also find cases of children with Asperger's who have not developed language, that is, nonverbal cases. In all of these cases, the language difficulty or absence causes frustration for the child and their family. It is a cause-and-effect relationship: often, those around them are unable to understand what the child wants to say, which in turn leads to the child's own frustration.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

How to stimulate the language of a child with AS?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

En estos casos debemos que el ni\u00f1o logre entender qu\u00e9 expresamos con el lenguaje y la comunicaci\u00f3n y qu\u00e9 no siempre lo que expresamos verbalmente es lo que significa literalmente. A continuaci\u00f3n, te ofrecemos algunos consejos para orientar las habilidades comunicativas del ni\u00f1o con SA hacia una comunicaci\u00f3n m\u00e1s fluida<\/a> con su entorno.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

  1. Dir\u00edgete al ni\u00f1o de una manera clara: <\/strong>es importante adoptar un tono de voz claro y n\u00edtido, para que el ni\u00f1o pueda entender nuestras frases. Ayuda tambi\u00e9n adoptar un ritmo normal, ni demasiado lento ni demasiado r\u00e1pido.\u00a0<\/li>\n
  2. Respect silences:<\/strong> on many occasions we tend to mark silences in conversations as uncomfortable moments. In our children with AS, these moments of silence can mean that he is looking for an exact answer to our question, since he ignores that not all questions need a specific answer.<\/li>\n
  3. Mu\u00e9strale c\u00f3mo aplicar frases de recurso durante los silencios: <\/strong>Dale recursos para emplear durante esos silencios y reducir la incomodidad en la conversaci\u00f3n. Por ejemplo, frases como \u201cNo lo s\u00e9\u201d o \u201cEstoy pensando\u201d.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Games to work on language in Asperger's Syndrome<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

    As we always say at M\u00e9todo VICON, the key to stimulating language development in children is making it fun, playing with them, and approaching the process in the most playful way possible. It's important to set aside rigidity and strictness and transform the process into something fun and exciting; this will lead to better results.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

    1. Pasa la pelota:<\/strong> se trata de un juego divertido que podemos adoptar f\u00e1cilmente en casa y en familia. Podemos ponernos en c\u00edrculo, establecer una tem\u00e1tica (como por ejemplo, \u201cCosas de cocina\u201d) y pasarnos la pelota. Cada vez que nos toque la pelota tendremos que decir una palabra relacionada con la tem\u00e1tica en cuesti\u00f3n. Tambi\u00e9n podemos jugar cantando canciones de M\u00e9todo VICON para trabajar los conceptos que estamos trabajando en ese momento.\u00a0<\/li>\n
    2. Cantad las canciones del M\u00e9todo:<\/strong> aprovecha los momentos m\u00e1s l\u00fadicos, como los fines de semana, para organizar un karaoke en casa y cantar todos las canciones de M\u00e9todo VICON. Es ideal para interiorizar conceptos y pasar momentos divertidos en familia.\u00a0<\/li>\n
    3. Read stories aloud:<\/strong> Reading aloud helps work on learned concepts and model the rhythm of the child's language.<\/li>\n
    4. Practicad el Self Modelling: <\/strong>grabar al ni\u00f1o mientras utiliza el M\u00e9todo VICON y verse a s\u00ed mismo ayudar\u00e1 a potenciar su evoluci\u00f3n en el desarrollo cognitivo del lenguaje.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
