Mejorando las habilidades de comunicación:
En ABA para el autismo, los niños aprenden a comunicar sus necesidades comenzando con gestos o palabras simples. Por ejemplo, un niño podría primero usar una tarjeta con imágenes para solicitar un refrigerio, y con el tiempo, podría pasar a decir: "Quiero una galleta," ya que se les refuerza positivamente por comunicarse de manera efectiva.

¿Cuáles son los signos tempranos del autismo en los bebés?
¿Son normales los comportamientos de estimulación en los niños pequeños?
Sí, muchos niños participan en acciones de autoestimulación—frecuentemente llamadas comportamientos de estimulación—como golpear, rebotar o agitar las manos. Para los niños en el espectro, la estimulación puede ser más frecuente e incluir el aleteo de manos, girar objetos o repetir sonidos. Si bien la estimulación en sí no es perjudicial, puede ser una pista útil al observar los primeros signos de autismo en bebés o niños pequeños.
