Scripting and Echolalia phrases are not to be considered accurate snapshots of your child’s language. If they are only using those words in the specific phrase or often out of context, they should not be counted in the number of words your child uses or considered as a length of utterance. However, scripts can be considered clues for what motivates your child, or even a way to communicate based on the original context of the script. I share an example of my son Lucas and a common script of his as a child, “Arthur’s Tooth” and the way it helped him communicate pain.

If you’re not following us on TikTok, @TurnAutismAround, we’ve been doing videos on scripting and echolalia. With that have come questions and comments related to Gestalt Language Processing. I was unfamiliar with this and have invited SLP-BCBA, Sari Risen on the podcast to discuss it.

I'm Dr. Mary Barbera and I fell into the autism world more than two decades ago when my first-born son, Lucas, was diagnosed with autism. Since then I became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, Host of the Turn Autism Around podcast (with more than 1 million downloads), and best-selling author of two books (including my newest book Turn Autism Around: An Action Guide for Parents of Young Children with Early Signs of Autism).

In addition to free content I post daily across Youtube, Insta, FB, and TikTok, I also offer two online courses for parents and professionals: The Toddler/Preschooler course to help young children ages 1-5 showing signs of autism (with or without a diagnosis) and the Verbal Behavior Bundle course to help kids over the age of 6!

Behavior Analyst BACB CEUs and Early Intervention contact hours are also included for professionals.

Whether you have a toddler showing signs of autism or you're a parent or professional helping an autistic child, I encourage you to subscribe to the Turn Autism Around YT channel and join me for videos almost every day that will help you increase talking, decrease tantrums, and improve eating, sleeping, and potty training!
