Treatments of Social (Pragmatic) Communication Disorder
Current interventions for this disorder include:
- Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC): Supplements or compensates for speech and language production or comprehension across spoken and written modes.
- Computer-Based Instruction: Uses computer technology to teach language skills.
- Video-Based Instruction: An observational teaching method using video recordings to model target behaviors or skills.
- Comic Strip Conversations: Illustrated drawings of conversations between people that slow the conversation down and provide more time for an individual to understand the information.
- SCORE Skills Strategy: A small-group strategy focusing on sharing ideas, complimenting others, offering help, recommending changes politely, and exercising self-control.
- Social Communication Intervention: Targeted practice of communication skills within social contexts.
- Social Scripts: Written or verbal prompts teaching varied language in social interactions, which are gradually faded as spontaneous language increases.
- Social Stories: Customized stories explaining social situations to teach appropriate behaviors and responses.
These interventions are widely used to support individuals with social communication difficulties (American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, n.d.).
