There has been a considerable increase in the number of children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and, since this group of people has a high chance of showing complex communication needs, the speech-language pathology intervention with Augmentative and Alternative Communication is essential. Objective: This research aims to analyze the use of a language assessment instrument through the perspective of Augmentative and Alternative Communication among children with autism spectrum disorders. Method: Application of the CSA_Linguagem instrument among children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder in situations of interaction using Augmentative and Alternative Communication graphic symbols. Results: the instrument allowed the researcher to observe the way each child communicates and showed how Augmentative and Alternative Communication may have positive effects on communication. Conclusion: The CSA_Linguagem instrument is easy to apply and has a low operating cost. Additionally, it allowed the researcher to determine the subjects’ profile regarding the use of graphic symbols as communicative effects.
