Abstract

This research explores the intricate process of language development in children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Understanding the unique challenges and patterns associated with language acquisition in this population is essential for developing effective interventions and support strategies. The study investigates various aspects of language development, including phonological, syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic dimensions, with a focus on the distinctive features exhibited by children on the autism spectrum. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature and empirical studies, this research aims to contribute to the growing body of knowledge surrounding language development in ASD. Insights gained from this investigation have the potential to inform educators, clinicians, and researchers, facilitating the design of targeted interventions to enhance communication skills and overall quality of life for children with ASD.
