I’m writing a research paper on bilingualism in autistic children, and I was wondering if anyone out there had any information or personal accounts (with a child, relative, friend, self) that might help me better develop what I want to write about. I haven’t focused on a specific aspect of autism and bilingualism so I’m just looking for general information on the subject. Just wondering what are some difficulties with learning/speaking two languages, if it makes things easy, does it help with cognitive abilities or can learning a second language or the use of a second language be generalized to other subjects/tasks/objectives? Thanks so much for any help/input, I really appreciate the help!

Are you seeking solutions to the communication breakdowns and behavior challenges of your students?
Using visual strategies makes a difference. Visual strategies help students focus their attention, understand communication, and comprehend the demands of their world.
Students thrive in environments that provide visual support. Use visual strategies for giving information; establishing rules, and providing the structure students need to be successful.
