It was hard to accept the fact that my two year old wasnt on the same level as the other children at her daycare. Thankfully the staff at All About Speech and Language knew exactly what to do. My daughter met with Miss Andrea twice a week for six months. She taught us my daughter and I simple sign language and shared practical exercises I could do with her at home. Miss Andrea also celebrated with me for every word and sound my daughter made during this time. She is progressing quite nicely and Im so grateful for the early support I received from Miss Andrea and the All About Speech and Learning staff.

My child has made incredible progress on a speech delay since we began coming here 8 months ago. Ms Caitlin is exceptional- she knows exactly how to keep him interested and working on his sounds it doesnt feel like work to him and he loves coming to see her. She also knows exactly how to address his difficulties to get him to overcome them. We had started working with a group therapy through the county and that unfortunately wasnt giving us much progress. But since we started here with Ms Caitlin he really turned around. AASL has been well worth it for us and I am so happy we made the choice to come here.

Our son has been receiving therapies with Ms. Britney and Ms. Jenna since Feb 2022 which was a difficult learning journey to that point to pin point how to help him with his learning needs. You name it we tried it up to that point. APD is the name of the game. All in Gods time and in the right place with the perfect therapists that knew exactly how to help him and it has made a world of difference for him throughout the remaining time of the school year. We continue to see them through the summer and onward to 3rd grade. There are no words to express the gratitude to them nor to the whole office staff from beginning to end extremely helpful and beyond nice. Thank you so much for what you do for these little ones.

We just started going here for my 5 year old. Her speech issues are minor but we wanted to get ahead of it. Everyone Ive spoken to here has been so nice and my daughter has enjoyed her sessions and I already noticed an improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Spot speech and language delays like a doctor here.
The goal of speech therapy is to help your child communicate effectively with other people across all environments. This may take the form of using gestures, simple signs, verbal speech, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC).
Some other common things speech therapists can help with:
Nonverbal skills, such as signs or gestures
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
Here are a few alternative options to consider:
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT): CBT helps by identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It's useful for those dealing with social anxiety or difficulties. CBT addresses cognitive patterns and provides strategies to manage social challenges.
Group therapy: Group therapy offers a supportive space where individuals can practice social skills. They can feedback from peers and a therapist. It allows interaction with others who understand and learn from each other.
Play-based interventions: Play therapy or play-based interventions work well for younger children or those who learn through experiences. Play activities target specific social skills like turn-taking and problem-solving in a safe and engaging setting.
The occupational therapy process includes an OT evaluation before care starts. Here are the four steps your family can expect when starting occupational therapy:
Complete OT evaluation. An occupational therapist first identifies your child’s strengths and needs through a thorough OT evaluation, also known as an OT assessment or screening. You’ll answer questions about your child’s skills, and your child will most likely demonstrate their skills via hands-on activities with the therapist. Evaluations can last 30 minutes to a few hours.
Approve OT plan. The therapist develops a care plan with individualized goals and customized interventions based on your child’s needs. You can also share any specific goals or concerns before approving the OT plan.
Start therapy sessions. The therapist works directly with your child and your family, using various strategies and exercises to systematically improve areas of limitations and to build upon a child’s strengths. Some exercises your child might participate in are animal walks, obstacle courses, and therapy swing activities. Your family may learn strategies for supporting your child’s individualized needs at home, such as ways of supporting emotional regulation and sensory processing. The therapist may also recommend tools and techniques to use at home, in the community, or in the classroom to help your child succeed.
Monitor your child’s progress. Parents and caregivers can expect ongoing progress monitoring and communication to ensure the child is achieving their short and long-term goals.
Occupational therapy can also be provided virtually via telemedicine. Virtual therapy is a great option for families in rural areas who may not have access to in-person services, or for families who prefer to have therapy in their child’s home.
Virtual OT allows the opportunity for increased caregiver participation and understanding of a child’s strengths, areas of improvement, and generalization of skills in the child’s home environment. Virtual therapy also provides increased opportunities for caregiver and family education to support the child and the family based on each family’s needs.
