“…Some studies indicate that autistic children have difficulty in auditory discrimination (Hingtgen & Coulter, 1967) and/or have other auditory perceptual deficits (Hermelin & O'Connor, 1967;O'Connor, 1971), such as visual-auditory crossmodal association (Lovaas, 1966;Bryson, 1972). A study by Davis (1970) found that autistic children performed best on tasks requiring primarily visual and not auditory integration. These studies suggest that language deficiencies in autistic children may be due to their inability to make crossmodal associations rather than their inability to process auditory or visual information alone.…”

While more and more literature supports the use of signing as a valid communication alternative for nonverbal autistic children, few clear state ments exist that speak to the efficacy of training in one mode over another. This article presents a summary of the language characteristics of autis tic children and relates them to existing research supporting both sign alone and sign plus speech as viable training modes. Although no definitive con clusions can be drawn from the literature regard ing the choice of teaching language in one mode over another for all autistic children, clinical im plications are given regarding existing data and its application to autistic children. Procedures for determining the optimal sign teaching mode for a given child are also discussed, and a call for addi tional research is made.

Experiments in the perception and language abilities of autistic children indicate that the children have auditory-visual association problems. These findings, combined with the findings that autistic communication is primarily gestural, led to the teaching of elements of American Sign Language to a 5-year-old nonverbal autistic boy. Results after 20 hours of training indicate that the child did acquire signs, that increasing signing led to increasing vocal speech, and that the child has rudimentary English syntax. The use of Ameslan signs spontaneously generalized to other situations and the training resulted in increased social interaction.
