Speech Therapy for Kids with Autism

376965

We pride ourselves in highly-customized therapy. Have a lover of red-cars or a particular character? We’ll incorporate your child’s interests into his or her therapy program.

It is our belief that there is not a “one-size-fits-all” action plan that works for kids on the spectrum.

Rather, we believe that it is our responsibility as therapists to design and implement a customized medley of communication approaches which emphasize your child’s strengths and support his/her weaknesses to support the end goal:  Robust Communication Skills.

We work alongside parents to collaboratively develop a therapy plan. Once developed, we introduce concepts and skills via play-based therapy techniques. An emphasis is placed on home programs and parent/caregiver training. 

The following principles may be incorporated into your child’s therapy plan:

  • Communication of basic wants & needs
  • Verbal Language
  • Sign Language
  • Pictures/Visual Supports
  • Augmentative Alternative Communication
  • Social Pragmatics
  • Social Stories
  • Video Modeling
  • Visual Supports
  • Peer Interaction
  • Play-based therapy
  • Develop Joint Attention
  • Conversational Skills
  • Perspective Taking
  • Generalization of newly learned skills outside of the therapy environment
  • Parent/Caregiver Training
  • Home Programs/Materials for practice
  • Teacher Trainings/Classroom Consultations
