Echolalia
It is the repetition of what someone has said. It is common among kids with ASD. For instance, when you ask your child “How are you?, your child may repeat “How are you? back to you.

It is the key to language development, articulation and speech production, where children with autism who displays a greater frequency of echolalia tend to have better language development. Thus, echolalia should not be eliminated.

Historically, echolalia has been described as meaningless and without communicative function. However, a growing body of research has identified various communicative functions of echolalia (e.g., turn-taking, labeling, requesting, affirming and protesting).

There is nothing to worry about because it will be corrected with time. Actions shall be paired with those words.

Even brave heart had a late start
Even great artist once made fake art
Until they realize just who they are.
Challenges well harnessed make us EPIC.

HOW DOES AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER (ASD) AFFECT LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT?

Learning seems easy, ordinary or normal when the wires to our senses are perfect. We learn with all senses, even with our sixth and seventh sense. ASD is a neurological disorder, that is, it affects the neural system. People with ASD may experience under or most of the time over-firing neurons. This experience causes sensory processing disorder, overriding other impulses in the neural pathways that enhance learning. That is why you see ASD in unusual repetitive behaviors to self-regulate. Children with ASD don’t tune into others the same way as typically developing children do. More reason they struggle with focus, eye contacts, attention, communication, transitions, organization, memory, time management, emotions, control, restiveness, frustrations, locomotion, tiptoeing, etc.

Benefits of playing with Blocks.

Blocks can function as powerful learning tools. It will help them with planning sequencing predicting as well as anticipation. A child will learn how to construct something and build things together. Studies suggest that toy blocks can help children develop motor skills and hand-eye coordination, spatial reasoning, cognitive flexibility, language skills, a capacity for creative, divergent thinking, social competence, and engineering skills.
