Sign language options for non-verbal children with autism
Parents who wish to look into another sign language option to teach their non-verbal child might want to check out Sign Exact English(SEE) Sign Language. It is a sign language based on ASL but the structure conforms to the English Language. Here are two links to explore on the subject:

Another option is the Makaton sign language which is based on British English. This would obviously work well if you live in Great Britain but according to this company website, the Makaton language can be accommodated to speech patterns in different countries. Check it out at
