Conversational skills for kids with autism are on a very complex level that will take some time and practice. While many parents dream of the day that they can have full conversations with their kids, autism conversational skills need a ton of assessing and programming to excel. In this video I discuss some examples of how complex this skill really is, as well as provide some tips to start teaching conversational skills to children with autism. It’s also important to note that before a child can even start learning conversational skills, they would need to have mastered a number of other autism skills first.

In the last 2 decades, Mary went from almost nothing about autism to becoming a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, writing a bestseller, The Verbal Behavior Approach (now translated into more than 10 languages) and obtaining a PhD. with an in-depth knowledge of some of the best ABA autism strategies. In 2015, Mary began her first online course on autism that has already been purchased from parents and professionals in more than 45 countries and now sells 3 courses online. With more than 2 decades in the world of autism, both as a parent and as a professional, Mary is in a unique position to help you, especially if you live or work with a child with autism who also has delays or language disorders. Its mission is to change things for 2 million children with autism (or signs of autism) by 2020 through online training and advocacy.

Do you have any tips for disengaging conversation? When I'm done talking I struggle to signal that to others
Hi mary.. pls help me out.. when ever I sing a song / rhyme my kid picks it in secs and try to sing in same rhythm with max correct words.. but.. when I ask her to say bye bye / throw/ give etc.. she is not copying it. How to make her talk or increase conversational words????
It sounds like you need to build echoic control. check out this podcast www.marybarbera.com/building-echoic-control-autism/ . Also make sure to take my new quiz as my courses are all about doing what you asked www.marybarbera.com/quiz
I’m a 34 year old woman and I’m listening 👂 to this hoping to learn how to have a conversation.
Thanks for listening.
Hi!!! Is very interesting. My son has autism and he began talking when he was 5. He doesn't do a full conversation yet. If I ask him he tries to answer. But my question today is about his behavior he is not patient at all and right now is driving everybody crazy with his screaming. He screams all day long and I don't know what to do. Please if you know something that can help I really appreciate your help. Thank you.
Google Mary Barbera vocal stims as I have a video blog that can help.
Thank you very much. I just watched your video and it's very helpful.

the struggle i have with building conversational skills is that i don''t think he is motivated to have a conversation. it feels like 'what's the point, i want to go watch tv'. sometimes he stays and talks out of politeness, but the motivation factor confuses me. does he want to socilize or no? if not then why am i making him socialize with me?
Yes, it can be tricky. If there is a topic he really enjoys, that may help.
Hi.i have twins almost 4y.o.they know a lot of words event counting until 100.but can not have a conversation.example.they connfuse even mumy and dady name when we ask.or just they not answer at all.they do speech terapy from few weeks the speechterapists say they are doing great.they fallow with the terapy but i see no results.easy question to ask what colour you like more blue or red?or what you want to drink tea or milk?you want to eat chips or biscuits?you want to were shoes or sandals?they just can not answer.i'm worried.how exactly sould i begin to have at least such kind of conversation wich i gave examples ?
Hi! I have videos that talks about this. You can google Mary Autism + topic (Shoebox or speech ). Its a technique that may be helpful with your situation. Or you can check out our resources by visiting www.marybarbera.com/workshops/.
How do I get my son to ask why? Thanks
Thank you for watching! I can not individually program for each child but I would recommend checking out my free webinar I created for intermediate learners; www.marybarbera.com/elc-workshop/
@@marybarbera thank you for answering my question. It's an honor to hear from you.
That’s a though question. I’m assuming he has all the prerequisites in place - lots of INTRAVERBALs, Mands (including where and what’s)
I would start with his MANDING! Tell him he can’t have something.
Then prompt him to ask “Why”. Then respond by saying because you haven’t finished your work. Hopefully he will then finish his work and then he Mands again and you give him that IPad or whatever it is!
Remember he must want something- then contrive it so he has to ask Why! There are tons of ways to do it - good luck 😊
@@theademerckxfiles9967 it's been two years and I just saw your message. How very useful and kind of you to respond with a real life example. He still doesn't care to ask questions. It's almost like he doesn't care for answers. He never ever asks why. He sometimes asks where, what, who, but never why not when. He has absolutely no concept of time. I keep working with him every day, but the results are so limited. Thank you immensely for your answer. I'm just shocked that there are people like you out there who would take the time to respond. Thank you.
Micah is 3.5 years. He doesn't converse. He asks, "What's that?" rather slurred. He makes what sounds like sentences in private play. Speaks individual words. He spins things. He doesn't like to chew food. His mother feeds him and uses a blended cooked food she makes. He is not potty trained. He lines up his hot wheels. He can't be still or doesn't like to be read to. He loves Chiu (sp) DVD cartoons and DVD movies called "Color City" (about animated crayons) and "Garfield" (the cat movie), and "Dave and Ava." He sounds out blended sounds, abc's, aeiou vowels, and sings in tune. He jabbers constantly with sounds, explores, and loves to wrestle and play fight...but it is hard to get his attention. I am 63 and my wife 40. We don't know what to do. He is happy but it is hard to get him to take direction and he will resist us.
It sounds like you could really use my online courses that cover eating, increasing language etc. It will help you learn how to teach him. Check out www.marybarbera.com/workshops for a free workshop

plese but arabic suptitel for your vedio .. we realy need som one like you ❤️
I will try my best
So much help for children and none for adults (developmental condition or not). There is no hope.
It is challenging to find quality supports for adults.
My child can imitate anything we say..she can sing as well but she doesn't speak to us and doesn't know how to have conversation with us..is she autistic?
Potentially. I can't say without knowing her but a full evaluation is the best way to find out.
Bringing her to the autism clinic is very expensive here in the Philippines ..that is why i just watch your videos and teach her what ive learned from it
V nice. But for an older child who do not use full sentences habitually and answers one words mostly. I want him to be more reciprocal
understandable!
My 7y/o twins zero word. Is there still a hope? 😭😭😭😭😭
