After offering the opportunity for communication, the teacher needs to wait for the response from the student with ASD. Generating a responce using an AAC takes more time than it would to give a verbal responce by a child with typical development. If the child is experienced with their device, wait at minimum 5 seconds for a response. If the child is not sppearing to create their responce after 5 seconds, regain the student's attention by offering another opportunity to communicate. If a student is new to their device or has inhibited motor abilities, longer than 5 seconds will be necessary. Peers should also be advised to wait for a responce from the student with ASD.
