Brief Summary: The study will show the effect of naturalistic teaching strategies and picture exchange communication systems in children with an autism spectrum disorder. There will be two groups in this study. One control group and the other experimental group.

One group will be provided with the naturalistic teaching strategies and pecs therapy both and the other group will be provided with the PECS therapy. The research will be conducted within the duration of six months after the approval from BASR.

The two groups will be first assessed using the portage early education program and pecs manual. After 20 sessions of respective therapeutic techniques, both of the groups will be reassessed. The results of both of the groups will be then compared and conclusions will be drawn.
Detailed Description: The Naturalistic Teaching approach is both adaptive and reactive to the needs of the kids with autism. Its methods are designed to be incorporated into the routines of children with an autism spectrum disorder. The naturalistic methods are intended to mimic the natural instructions a child receives in a variety of contexts.

PictureExchange Communication System (PECS) is a unique communication training program that was developed as a means of evading some shortcomings associated with these strategies. Many individuals with autism are candidates for augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems, either to supplement (i.e., augment) their existing speech or to act as their primary (i.e., alternative) method of expressive communication. Presently, aided, picture-based AAC systems are used more frequently and successfully with individuals with ASD. PECS consists of six phases and begins by teaching an individual to give a single picture of a desired item or action to a "communicative partner" who immediately honors the exchange as a request.
