Abstract:
The neurodiversity movement supports the development and diverse functioning of the human brain, which is responsible for interacting and experiencing the world differently. The main goal is to make people aware of the neurological differences that need to be accepted, the usefulness of inclusion and the acceptance of neurodiversity as a natural part of human diversity. Neurodivergent people have specific strengths and abilities that society should not ignore, and are also advocates of autistic self-representation. Knowledge of communicative behaviours in autistic people is of great significance for communication and behaviour education. To stimulate communication, speech and language therapy and psychoeducational practice recommends the use of intervention programmes and alternative methods. In this article we refer to: the Son-Rise Programme (SRP), the TEACCH Method; the DT (Discrete Trial) Programme, the ABA Method. The aim of these is to help to develop communication skills, to explain the occurrence of necessary changes in the usual program, to correctly interpret disturbed behaviors, to develop strategies to manage special situations in the individual's life.
