What is the relationship between sign language and children with autism. Does sign language help autistic children communicate and learn how to speak?

A descriptive study of different methods used by teachers and students in an autistic classroom. ___

I would research this question by going into an autistic classroom and observe the communication and different ways that the teachers came across to the students. Kim, I think it would be good if we could find a classroom that already uses sign language as one of the means of communicating. Let me see what I can find out. Mrs. Ashley

Is the classroom that I am going into for special education use sign language?

How are you going to do the observation? Will you use an observation instrument to clarify what you are looking at and observing? Do you think you can go back into Mrs. Lopreato's class to observe? Would her classroom work for what you want to study? If so, let me know and I can discuss with her.
