Figuring out the best way to help autistic children to learn communication and language skills can be quite demanding. Every child is different so it may take several tries to sort out the best way to teach each individual. Emily S. L. Curiel wrote, "Teaching Your Tot to Talk: Using Milieu Teaching Strategies” to inform parents, guardians, teachers, and any inquiring persons on some effective strategies to help ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) children learn proper communication skills. There are three main strategies she suggests to use. First off is the model, which is holding up an item in which the child wants and stating what the item is to hopefully get a reaction out of them. Secondly, is the Mand Model A.K.A asking a question, this time,

First off Curiel has written other articles based around the topic of language skills for children with autism, such as the article “Programming for Generative Receptive Language in Young Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Matrix Training Approach”. This shows that she must have some extensive knowledge about the topic at hand and has gone into deep research to thoroughly identify teaching skills that could aid these children. Secondly, the author also makes sure to cite every source she uses throughout her articles such as years, the tables and diagrams, and information she uses in her writing. For Example, for Table 1(Curiel Pg. 27), the source is listed underneath the table and states, “Alpert and Kaiser (1992), and Christensen-Sandfort and Whinnery (2013). Most of the information stated in Curiel’s article is the findings of professionals on the topic and also organizations that are working on the improvement of education for young children with autism so it is exceptionally easy to know where the author is acquiring her research and it is all most definitely credible. Curiel is very confident in delivering all of the information in her article, not once is there a time when one might think “Does this author really know what she is talking …show more content…
She organizes her article particularly orderly, by starting out on explaining what ASD is and how children with these qualities act. She then goes on to title each paragraph with a question that would probably be frequently asked by a reader and the paragraph that follows will effectively answer the posed question. Curiel references many studies from higher up institutions that prove she has logical reasoning behind her article. For example, on page 25 she says, “In a literature review on interventions for toddlers with ASD, Schertz, Reichow, Tan, Vaiouli, and Yildirim (2012) identified five intervention purposes that were targeted by the reviewed studied. The purposes were joint attention, communication, general development, play, and family well-being." Through the use of her references, she shows the reader that the points she has been making are logical and believable. Another way this article shows logical appeal is the way the information is written. For example, A reader that may not know anything about the autism spectrum disorders or the children and families it effects but because of how clear the information is given an individual is able to piece together the factors of autism and the Milieu strategy to come up with the logical assumptions that
