Many parents are lost and confused when they get the diagnosis that their child has autism. Some try to look for autism language programs, some look for intervention options, but many dig their head into the sand and think their child will never be able to talk fluently. However, with the right methods, increasing language in toddlers isn’t as impossible as you might think. Improving language in kids with autism starts with an assessment. And this is something I cover and enforce in almost all my videos. But another great strategy for helping your child to develop communication skills is the shoebox program.

The shoebox program is something I’ve come up with that helps in developing language skills using pictures of family members and other familiar objects. In today’s video blog, I’ll outline the steps parents and professionals can take to put this program into place and learn how to improve autism social skills. Teaching language and language learning can be fun, and the shoebox program does just that. I hope you’ll try this program out in your autism intervention plan, and let me know in the comments how it goes!

Dr. Mary Barbera. I fell into the autism world as an autism mom in 1999 when her first-born son, Lucas, was diagnosed with autism. Since then, she became a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst and best-selling author of The Verbal Behavior Approach. Since 2015, she’s created 3 autism online courses based on applied behavior analysis for professionals and "gung-ho" parents.
