People with Asperger's Syndrome can benefit from a variety of different interventions, however, the earlier the interventions begin the greater their success. Speech and Language Therapy which focuses on pragmatic skills, use of voice (modulation and tone) can help in the understanding of how language is used for social interaction and conversation. This therapy will also focus on physical aspects of communication such as eye contact, body orientation and voice volume. Social skills groups are also important to teaching the unwritten language of social interaction. Many people with Asperger's benefit from Occupational Therapy that focuses on sensory integration. Behavioral therapy can assist in developing appropriate responses to emotional situation (emotional regulation), transition or change. Some people do well with Applied Behavioral Analysis. There are many different schools of thought here that should be researched before deciding what to use. (FloorTime, Discreet Trials, RDI, ABA, etc.) Autism Speaks is a good organization to go to for more information. Also, check to see if there is an Asperger's Association in your area for more support and information.
* ABA is not recommended, it involves trying to train an Autistic child to be more like a neurotypical child and often can include abuse to achieve that outcome - read testimonies from adults on this.
