Does anyone have a good reading intervention for students with significant intellectual disabilities/autism that are nonverbal?

If you're searching for a reading intervention for nonverbal students with severe intellectual disabilities or autism, good luck! Visual supports, picture communication systems, and consistent routines must be emphasized. Adapted books, symbol-supported texts, and some basic AAC apps are real genres of help. Pair reading with real context to make meaning for your students. Just like proofreading thesis, where clarity and structure count, reading intervention must be clear, repetitive, and individualized. Supporting reading means finding what works for each student; it does not mean using a cookie-cutter approach. Has anyone ever come across something that works? We ought to support each other in sharing that.
