LEARN AND COMMUNICATE VIA IMITATION. EDUCATIONAL TEACHING STRATEGIES AND APPROACHES FOR CHILDREN WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS

Emanuela Zappalà, Michela Galdieri

Abstract


The imitative process may represent an opportunity for a child’s development to learn new actions, as well as to establish social relationships and communicate with each other at an early age. Nonetheless, difficulties in imitation shown by children with Autism Spectrum Disorder may hinder communication, language and intersubjectivity development. Hence, it’s essential to identify strategies that stimulate each child on an imitative level starting from multiple and diversified situations of play and daily life where partners and objects act as an activating function. Therefore, working on imitation skills constitutes a significant step to improve both social and communication skills of the child with Autism Spectrum Disorder by exploiting the potential of some educational approaches such as AAC, PECS and Video-modeling.
