Why speech therapy matters for children with autism
Most children on the spectrum experience some degree of speech or language delay. Some find it hard to form sounds; others have words but struggle to use them socially. Starting speech therapy early gives your child the best possible head start.
Tools that meet your child where they are
We use oral-motor exercises, the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) and plenty of playful practice. For children who find eating, drinking or mouth and lip placement difficult, we work on those physical foundations too.
Practised in real life
Because sessions take place at home, new words are practised where they'll actually be used: at the dinner table, with siblings, during play. We coordinate closely with your child's ABA and Verbal Behaviour goals, so everything works together.
