In Supporting Language Acquisition in Autistic Children Across Cultures, for this course, the practical stakes show up in clearer case conceptualization, better instructional targets, and stronger generalization, not in abstract discussion alone.

Together, we'll review behavior analytic and linguistic perspectives on bilingual language development, highlight key verbal operants, and dive into practical intervention strategies. We'll look at the latest research on bilingual autistic children—while also addressing and dispelling common myths. With a focus on culturally diverse families, we'll discuss why preserving home languages matters and how to tailor supports to each family's needs. You'll also gain insight into evidence-based ABA strategies, such as Discrete Trial Training (DTT) and Natural Environment Teaching (NET), and how these can be applied to foster bilingual growth. Finally, we'll share best practices for collaboration between ABA professionals and SLPs, ensuring every child has the chance to thrive through a holistic, inclusive approach.
