The most common language disorder associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is pragmatic language impairment, also known as social communication disorder. This condition affects how children use language in social settings, such as understanding tone, taking turns in conversation, or knowing what’s appropriate to say in different situations.
Children with autism may also experience delayed speech development, echolalia (repeating words or phrases), or difficulty understanding abstract language like jokes or idioms. These challenges don’t mean a child can’t learn to communicate, they simply process and express language differently.
With the right support, communication skills can improve significantly. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy focuses on teaching functional communication, helping children learn to express needs, understand others, and build meaningful social connections.
At Kids N Heart ABA, we provide personalized ABA therapy in North Carolina to help children develop strong communication and social skills in a warm, supportive environment.
