ABA therapy has received widespread recognition as an effective and evidence-based treatment for individuals on the autism spectrum. As a result, legislative measures have been enacted to ensure that children who have received an ASD diagnosis have access to ABA therapy services. If your child has received a diagnosis of ASD, our administrative personnel will collect the necessary paperwork and coordinate with your insurance provider to determine your level of eligibility.

Speech therapy is almost always recommended for autistic children since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if a child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they might need to work on communication skills like: 

• responding to questions
• starting or ending conversation
• changing conversation topics
• using gestures like pointing
• understanding other people's body language 

Speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention for autistic children and is usually the starting place for recently diagnosed kids. There is a critical period in the brain for language development and so, it's really important to teach language and communication skills as early as possible, especially if there are any delays in that area. Your child will learn effective ways to communicate which will help them grow into more independent and confident individuals.

It might be obvious when a child struggles with speaking —they are very quiet, say only a few words, or don't speak at all.

Here's our complete guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy.

• Forming speech in a clearer way
• Communicating thoughts and feelings clearly
• Understanding and responding to questions
• Discerning facial expressions and their corresponding emotions
• Noticing and understanding body language
• Feeding and swallowing
• Stuttering
