“…Although a focus on pragmatic language level is considered as significant by 87% of the addressed respondents, in practice, they still focus primarily on active and passive vocabulary development and pronunciation, i.e. on the phonetic-phonological language level [21]. Nevertheless, only 40% of the respondents apply specific assessment tools for evaluating communication disorders in individuals with ASD; specifically, only 58% of the respondents focus on the diagnosis of pragmatic language level with regard to this.…”

The chapter describes the possibilities of involving a speech-language therapist in the assessment of the pragmatic level of communication in autism spectrum disorders (ASD), where one of the most frequently impaired areas is communication pragmatics. These difficulties lead to a disruption of social interaction, which might be one of the obstacles to speech-language intervention in these children. The text is based on an originally developed testing material aimed at selected pragmatic-oriented communication situations relating to everyday activities and real life. Based on a comparison of domestic and international resources in this area, as well as mediated and own empirical experience, our assessment approach is based on the conclusion that pragmatics can be understood in different contexts and perspectives. The text presents the results of a partial survey comparing the performance of children with ASD and children with typical development. The assessment focused on the children's election of the correct picture of a pair of pictures that represent usual communication and social situations. The results of the research suggest fewer incorrect responses in children with ASD and in different areas compared with children with typical development. However, the results of a qualitative analysis indicate a necessity to expand the assessment of communication pragmatics by adding an individually specific qualitative analysis of children's performance.

“…Due to the variability and perfuse nature of the symptoms reflecting mainly on impaired communication skills, the diagnosis of PLL should be primarily the role of a speech therapist. Of course, a comprehensive insight into the given area can be created just in the case of interdisciplinary cooperation with a psychologist, psychiatrist or neurologist and a special education teacher (Vitásková & Říhová, 2014). Mikulajová (2003) states that high-quality diagnosis alsorequires using anamnestic data of the child, analysis of the child's spontaneous expression, observations and interviews.…”

<p class="IATED-Affiliation">The objective is an overview of the partial research outcomes aimed at evaluating the pragmatic level of communication (PCL) in persons with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) from the perspective of speech and language therapy (SLT) in the Czech Republic, where the SLT system is divided into three different sectors bringing specific views on their concept. A partial objective is to highlight the need to create specific SLT diagnostic materials for national- relevant use and outline their concept. It is based on a brief theoretical analysis of the current state of knowledge, and presents the quantitative and qualitative outcomes based on a mixed research design. Partial results confirm the lack of practical SLT´s focus on the area of PCL diagnosis in ASD, the lack of relevant diagnostic materials as well as effective options of SLT intervention in PCL of people with (ASD) focusing on selected individually impaired factors.</p><p> </p>
