Abstract	Children with autism may sometimes appear to be living in their own world and show very little interest in others. They may be socially unaware, avoiding eye contact and showing limited attachment to others. But when a child is able to express and communicate thoughts, desires, and needs, they are much more likely to seek out social interactions. Conventional teaching has maintained that teaching Sign Language to people with autism or delayed speech will interfere with their learning to talk, but research has shown that it will, in fact, accelerate verbal communication. In this article, the author describes her experiences teaching Sign Language to two of three triplets who were diagnosed with autism. (ERIC).
