Improving Speech and Language in Children with Autism using Video Modeling

Monique Simpson

Hi everyone,

I have to say I’m finding video to be a great way of explaining all of the concepts and techniques that I have to share with you and also for bringing to life many of the examples that will help with applying these tips to your own situation. So I hope you’re enjoying them too!

This week’s tip focuses on how you can improve your child’s articulation and speech clarity skills using a technique called Video Modeling. There are many ways to improve articulation, but Video Modeling is one technique that I’ve found to be very effective over the years with the children I treat.

So anyway, I created a quick, step-by-step guide to show you exactly how you can use Video modeling to help your child’s articulation and speech development. So if your child is struggling with this then I think you’re going to find this video tip particularly helpful.

It goes for about 10 minutes.

P.S: Please share any thoughts or stories you may have about this video by leaving your comments in the box provided below.

    Hello Monica
    I do always go through your news letter and other relevant information , but my daughter is not speaking. she sometimes make sound at her own, but when we tried to talk to her she stops and close her eair.
    If you kindly let us know that you have any facility where we can visit and take my daughter, so that she learn how to communicate.

    While I won’t necessarily be using this process myself, it seems very useful and inspired me to try something similar using my cue cards. Instead of using my sons generic cue cards, I am going to make them look like dominoes, something he really likes. I’m hoping that will increase his motivation.

    ‘Speech sounds on cue’ has been effective, it also has australian voices. I take the mouth close ups and use them with youtube or family videos.I add sound effects from The Simpons as well. I use video to show social situations as well. If any one knows of any video modelling sites can they let me know please.

    Hello Monique,
    Congratulations on your pregnancy :0)
    I am really enjoying your video tips.
    The video modelling one was really good because my son Henry has started paying much more attention to my mouth when I talk and his own and practices different movements in the mirror!
    At the beginning of the year he was making groaning sounds now he has a wide range of babbling including some sounds which he uses in context eg na na na for no.
    It is lovely to see him becoming more social with his langauage.
    You do a wonderful job thank you so much.
