Sign language helps autistic children at Brenkwitz Elementary in Hayward. Teacher Susan Spalter Berman and staff use a mix of spoken language and signs to build imitation and eye contact before introducing signs. Don Adaviso and peers progress through steps like clapping and gesture imitation, aided by rewards and structured routines.
