This book was written for a group of Students With Autism who have speech- enough to state requests or recite dialogs but not enough to discuss a topic.
Verbal autistic Students may have functional speech but it may be difficult for them to extract the right word/Language at the right moment required.
If the speech is rote/habit/stim, people may be deceived by their speech and believe that the student cannot think beyond those uttered words..
Spelling a word may be easier approach for these Students than saying a word or thought aloud.
Also, many Verbal Students may experience a road block towards intentional-communication beyond the previously learned functional or social speech.
Expressive Language may lie dormant and the student may need a way to bring these thoughts to the surface.
