Today I'm going to talk about the 4 keys you need to address in your instruction for expressive language.  Expanding expressive language goes beyond just getting longer sentences or adding vocabulary, particularly for students with ASD.  In order to improve communication, we have to focus on how the expressive language is used.  That includes increasing the reasons or functions of the use of language.  You need to expand the situations in which the student uses expressive language. We should focus on initiating and independence of language. And finally we must expand the types of vocabulary.
