Social Communication Disorders

Awareness of socioemotional issues related to childhood communication disorders is increasing. Three themes in recent research have obligated speech-language pathologists to become better educated in socioemotional issues: (a) the interdependence of communication, language, and socioemotional development; (b) the high co-occurrence of communication and emotional/behavioral disorders in children; and (c) the significant effect of a childhood communication disorder on the family system. In this article, relevant literature on these topics is reviewed, and implications for working with young children and their families are presented.

Assistive technologies can improve the quality of life of people diagnosed with different forms of social communication disorders. We report on the design and evaluation of an affective avatar aimed at engaging the user in a social interaction with the purpose of assisting in communication therapies. A human–avatar taxonomy is proposed to assist the design of affective avatars aimed at addressing social communication disorder. The avatar was evaluated with 30 subjects to assess how effectively it conveys the desired emotion and elicits empathy from the user. Results provide evidence that users become used to the avatar after a number of interactions, and they perceive the defined behavior as being logical. The users’ interactions with the avatar entail affective reactions, including the mimic emotions that users felt, and establish a preliminary ground truth about prototypic empathic interactions with avatars that is being used to train learning algorithms to support social communication disorder evaluation.

Practice has found that music and therapeutics have become more and more closely related in recent years. Music can assist in the treatment of certain diseases and relieve stress. For example, people with autism have common symptoms such as social communication disorders, communication disorders, and interest disorders. Although patients live in their own worlds, they also have common ground where they like music is interested in music, and have a strong talent for music. Through innovative training through music therapy, they use Orff's teaching and Kodaly. The expression of music language in teaching method, combining music with treatment, can effectively improve symptoms, relieve mood, relax mood, and slowly return to healthy social life. Under the influence of the novel coronavirus epidemic, music therapy is more suitable for home treatment, establishing a social communication relationship between autism patients and families. Through consulting literature, practical activities, visits, surveys and other practical modes, this paper innovates and trains and studies the benefits of music therapy for people with autism, and puts forward reference suggestions for music therapy.
