Book excerpt: The purpose of this literature review is to determine how minimal speech compares to a full language approach when used in various strategies and methods and the effect it has on language development in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The research review focuses (a) how minimal speech as incorporated in the selected methods affects an individual with ASD receptive language skills, expressive skills and/or encourage self-initiated communication in children with ASD; and (b) the effect of the use of full language in children with ASD. The research looked at three methods, two of which are used with great prevalence in typical classroom settings and utilize a minimal speech approach. These methods are discussed in greater detail within the review and describe how each influence language development, specifically related to the use of minimal speech as a central component of the method. The results show strengths and weaknesses in each practice and the development of communication varied by method. Although additional research is necessary in the third method studied the full language approach’s initial findings show promising results in the development of language skills although the scope of the research is limited.
