Nouns mean the name of a thing or someone or the name of a place. You can teach kids the names of people living nearby and ask who this is or can they ask the name of any other thing? When the child gives the correct answer, definitely appreciate him or use a reinforcer. This will increase the child’s confidence and motivate him to do something new.
2. Parts of Speech Activities with Adjectives
Improve vocabulary
In this speech therapy activity, you have to show your child some pictures like a fork, spoon, vegetables fruits, etc. and you have to tell the child what is its color, what works does, like if you have taken a fruit, then ask its color, is it a fruit or a vegetable, what does it do, etc.
3. Parts of Speech Activities with Verbs
You can invite your child’s friends together and let them have fun and when all the children do activities like jump, clap, tap, touch the floor, sit stand, and your child is also involved, he will remember these verbs and your child’s vocalization will also improve.
4. Parts of Speech Activities with Prepositions
You can perform these simple speech activities with children at home like giving some things to children and asking them to keep them on the table, and asking them to keep some things under the table and asking them by name of the things whether this bag, pencil, shoes, etc. is under the table or on the table. With such small activities, children learn to use prepositions in the right way. And they learn how to use sentences.
5. Speech Therapy Activities with Simple Sentences

Conclusion
Children with ASD may have difficulty developing language skills and understanding what others say to them. They also often have difficulty communicating nonverbally, such as through hand gestures, eye contact, and facial expressions. Communication Problems in Children are raised day by day.
If your child’s speech is not developing then you can work with your child by using speech therapy at home, sensory integration therapy at home, and occupational therapy at home but if you live in a foreign country like the UK or other states then you can also consult MeRT treatment for your autistic child.
Whenever you work with your child, make an autism ppt so that you can remember your work schedule-wise. All these activities work for severe autism reversed, or if there is cerebral palsy, SPD, autism, ADHD, or any other developmental difficulty, then these three therapies are mostly used in children but keep in mind that you must take the advice of your therapist and work with your child only under their guidance. Remember that only with patience and practice can a child improve.
