One thing that I am going to use with these kiddos is finding things to make sure they are heard. Whether that by by visual, pointing or setting up an I-pad for a way for the student to communicate. I currently work with a couple that we have set-up I-pad for them to communicate and show the teacher. It has worked wonderfully.
Providing visuals is the next thing. I would use many posters around the room for the students to be able to understand by visual preferences. Providing these visuals would be a way for the students to point in order to communicate needing to go to the bathroom and other important indicators.
The last thing that I seen in the videos that are of important is to slow down and make sure things are understood. Moving too fast can make the student lose interest and doesn't connect with the student as well. I would go at the pace of the student.

Speech Therapy to help children learn new vocabulary, organize their thoughts and beliefs, and correct grammatical or word errors

Behavior Therapy designed to increase children's use of desirable communication behaviors, decrease their unwanted problem behaviors and use of maladaptive coping strategies, and to promote their development of useful interpersonal skills. Changes occur via a program of systematic reward and reinforcement. For example, children may be encouraged to use mnemonic strategies (adaptive coping behavior) to help them remember facts relevant to their school performance. Remembering the word "HOMES" can trigger the names of the five great lakes: Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, and Superior.

Some clinicians may also recommend the use of Stimulant Medications as a treatment for any impulsivity or hyperactivity symptoms that may be present. This is a variation on a common intervention typically used for treating ADHD.

Environmental Modification can also be an important part of treatment for communication disorders. For example, children with communication disorders can be given extra time during school-based discussions or oral test situations to more adequately formulate responses.
