Sign language options for non-verbal children with autism

What can you do when your child with autism spectrum disorder is non-verbal? Experts in the field often recommend teaching signs to such children to encourage communication. In North America, deaf and hard of hearing children and individuals learn to communicate using American Sign Language (ASL). Children with autism who are non-verbal, too, are usually taught basic signs in ASL. But some parents have concerns about teaching their child with autism to communicate in ASL. They want their child to sign to communicate but in a way in which the structure of their signing will remain the same as in English Language. In ASL, for example, asking a person's name is signed "your name what?" instead of "what is your name?"
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
