It all began with a dream to nurture language and daily living skills in the lives of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, who come from multilingual homes. Studies have shown that a child can acquire a new language when it is encouraged. Teaching behavioral analytic methods of labelling what they notice in their environment, also known as "tacting" in a foreign language to learners of ASD or typical learners is an effective approach. As learners may be intrigued by the sound a new word produces in the language (Wu, Lechago, S. A., & Rettig, 2019). This automatic reinforcement can be utilized to encourage language skills. This is something that is often overlooked, and children's language needs are ignored in various learning settings. We choose to celebrate the diversity of language, and act as a catalyst to work towards a "sapna" (dream).
