2. Language Development
- Address any language weaknesses that the child has such as grammar, syntax, vocabulary, etc.
3. AAC
- If the child is using an AAC device or system, teach him how to use it to create more complex utterances and participate in classroom activities.

- Make sure the child understands basic prosody vocabulary, like rate, stress, intonation, etc.
- Help the child use correct intonation, stress, and rate first in simple sentences and then gradually moving toward conversation
