Autism - Asperger voice volume


Expert: Michelle Fattig - 2/21/2008

Question
I work with several students with asperger syndrome.  Occassionally, they speak with too loud of a voice.  I've used visual cards that say too loud and quieter please but these cues seem to only help momentarily.  Do you have any suggestions? Have you ever tried using a whisper phone (it is a headset that attaches to the ear and has a mouth piece that they speak in?

Answer
A couple of good websites that may be of help:

http://books.google.com/books?id=GMqQCtICFNwC&pg=PA288&lpg=PA288&dq=talking+too+...

I hope these are of help.  I wish that I did know what a good intervention might be.... our daughter does not seem to have a volume control!  Let me know if there is anything else that I can provide.
