Reading & Writing Quarterly 20.3 (2004): 237-260. Academic Search Complete. EBSCO. Web. 18 Nov. 2010. This article talks about how autistic children develop their literacy through a range of activities and behaviors. It also talks about two pain points in how autistic children develop their literacy techniques. Experts believe that learning literacy early on for autistic children will not determine their total oral language development. They need to look at reading and writing as communication practices from an early age. It is also talks about how speech production can be improved through writing instructions.
