You should talk to the speech therapist working with your child about designing home activities for you. That way you are working together to build her skills as quickly as possible!
Here are some sites with some general ideas you might want to look at:

Hope these help!

Most, if not all of the children with autism I work with are language impaired, not speech impaired. They lack the vocabulary to express themselves. Speech impairment is when a child has trouble correctly pronouncing the sounds (ex: says "doast" for "ghost").

I was 3 hours away from an undergrad in speech therapy when I transferred to avoid a long-distance marriage. I lost all my speech-path credits. So I'm really not qualified, but you can call a speech therapist and ask for links and ideas. If you have medical insurance, most will pay for speech therapy with a Dr.'s referral. My daughter went to therapy for about 6 months, and the therapist sent "homework" for us to work on.

Have you tried working with a mirror? Have them blow bubbles, get the lips in the motion they need to be in to pronouce the words. IF fragmental skills needed you will need to research. Have you considered working off PECS? It's a picture exchange. Enter it on your search engine. It can help in 2 ways, they can show you picture to tell you what they want, it also gives you the chance to go over the word with them.
