special needs children??

Back to the subject

Experiment with different forms of alternative communications with the child and find out which form of the communication the child prefers to use in communicating back. Use toys that would stimulate the childs use of hands like the tacky ball. Different people with multiple disabilities have different preferences. Just experiment until you find the preferred comunication methood and then grow the child's knowledge using it.

And finally you'll need a lot of patience.

A child is an 18 yr journey for parents.

Have you looked into Applied Behavior Analysis, or Discrete Trial Training? I admire your desire for working with this child, it will be very difficult to teach him to use language since he is Autistic. I would work closely with his Speech Language Pathologist and look into Applied Behavior Analysis or Discrete Trial Training.
