What is Non-Speaking

Chapter 1
Cutting-Edge Language and Literacy Tools for Students on the Autism Spectrum
Unable to articulate words, perhaps because of Apraxia of Speech or other oral-motor difficulties, or perhaps because of lack of access to speech sounds (e.g., because of hearing loss). Non-speaking individuals may be able to use alternative linguistic media like sign language or written language. In autism, however, non-speaking often means non-verbal.

Abstract
This chapter explains the ways in which language, though not a diagnostic feature of autism, is nonetheless central to it. The chapter provides an overview of the language challenges in autism, including speech, vocabulary, grammar and syntax, pragmatics, language comprehension, and narrative skills. It discusses how these challenges range in severity across the autism spectrum, from individuals who are non-speaking to those who are fully fluent but still struggle with social communication. It also discusses some of the uncertainties surrounding non-speaking autism. It then surveys the various ways in which language affects social development, cognitive development, academic development, behavior, and psychological well-being.
