  • The Island Project Without functional communication adults with autism are isolated from their community, family and even those that care for them. Imagine being unable to ask for your most basic needs to be met. The frustration felt by those who lose their ability to communicate is easy to imagine – now try to imagine never having that ability. For those with autism who are described as “non-verbal” it is vital that their education is based around the ability to communicate and that teachers can teach in a communication style that makes sense to the student. Our experience is that our children have thrived following the introduction of effective communication systems based on Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) and The Pyramid Approach to education.
