ElizabethB Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 That is really interesting, and tracks what I have seen with several boys with autism. I wonder if that is the problem with some speech difficulties, too. For example, my student who had apraxia when he was younger had his speech totally remediated by the time I met him but was having some trouble with phonics, and it seemed like he discriminated too much at times. For example, he kept having problems with ts until I figured out from a friend who was a tutor but had more of a linguistics background that ts is co-articulated. When my fellow tutor mentioned that, I remembered my Russian--I took out my Russian textbook and showed my student the symbol for ts in Russian and he thought that was very interesting that there was a single symbol for ts in Russian, he had no problem sounding out ts from then on!
