Detta arbete behandlar funktionshindret autism, där kommunikation återfinns som ett stort problemområde. Inom den sk "Wings Triad", där nedsättning i social interaktion, kommunikation och fantasi nämns som de största svårigheterna, och som komplexa områden där många personer med autism har stora brister, är detta tydligt. Sett ur individperspektiv är kommunikation väldigt intressant och ett viktigt område att belysa. Just kommunikation och det sociala samspelet med andra människor är något som i dagens samhälle fyller en viktig funktion, och finns då svårigheter till kommunikativt samspel så innebär detta problem. Jag vill med detta arbete visa hur man arbetar med kommunikation som problemområde i särskolan idag, och ge en inblick i vilka olika metoder, visuella arbetssätt och hjälpmedel som finns att tillgå för att stimulera personer med autism till en förbättrad tvåvägskommunikation.
