  • Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS)

Echolalia (repeating words or phrases) is addressed through structured Speech Therapy techniques :

  • Understanding the purpose of echolalia (communication, processing, or self-regulation)
  • Teaching functional and meaningful language use
  • Using modeling and sentence-building strategies
  • Encouraging context-based responses instead of repetition

The goal is not to stop echolalia completely, but to shape it into meaningful communication.
