Our daughter spent seven years with Cameron Roberts and made incredible progress with her. She truly cares about the kids and her approach to helping the kids is based on real world results. Cameron often went above and beyond for us - shes truly one of a kind. The other staff who work there are great as well and weve had nothing but great experiences there. We couldnt recommend Cameron Roberts Speech Therapy any higher.
My son started speech and OT at Cameron roberts when he turned 2. He had services for the whole year until his 3rd birthday.I am so grateful and amazed at their quality of work. Cameronspeech and Amy OT were always so patient understanding and proactive of all of taimurs issues and needs. Some sessions were tough especially to see your kid struggling but it was a process to overcome and they supported us all the way. So I am very thankful for everything they have done to help blossom my child and help him reach his milestonesThey were also so helpful with managing the insurance stuff and all the complications that arise. Hardly had to ever do anything.
We started out the pandemic with a rare medical diagnosis and a second child Showing signs of speech and OT delay. We found Cameron Roberts on Google. We have used a few other places in the past So I knew what to expect. What I did not expect is this level of care. Every single staff member is compassionate caring and educated. Not only was this time terrifying because of what was happening in the world but also what was going on at Home with our new findings. Amy K. really listened to my concerns about my daughter and we worked together the steps to improve her speech and social abilities. We started off our OT experience with someone who was also amazing but left to start her own family. They made the transition to Whitney seamless and Whitney really stops and listens to all our current issues at home and helps accommodate it into my daughters OT sessions and i am seeing such positive improvements sometimes i dont even recognize my daughter Thanks to these 2 ladies my Daughter who has since been diagnosed with Autism and ADHD is a totally happy child and able to function in a regular class setting with support. She is learning how to express her feelings caught up to her classmates with her speech learning how to be ok with daily things like clipping her nails brushing her hair brushing her teeth. Tantrums that happened several times daily are now a few times a week occurrence. Now onto my second child. My son has ADHD and has stunted growth he needed OT for several reasons and Tara took the time to not only figure out what he needed for his ADHD but also knew about his rare medical condition and what could help him. His hand writing was also an issue at school and they have been working on that for the last few months and already we are seeing better hand writing. The OT has helped him in the classroom and we are getting less notes home higher test scores and an overall happier kid. My sons rare condition ended in needing food therapy which I had 0 idea was a thing and Amy W. Has started working with him these last few weeks. She can get him to try things that he would not touch if I even bribed him. She also is helping me navigate options to try at home. The fact that these ladies go out of their way to help our family beyond their job title makes me more great-full then I could ever even express. We had the opportunity to move and we refused because we cannot imagine leaving the Cameron Roberts family. From the therapists to the front staff that helps me understand the struggles of my insurance I am so grateful. If you want someone you can trust your kids lives with this is the place for you. I send everyone I can to Cameron Roberts so they too can see the amazing things that are happening here. Thank you everyone.
Cameron and her team are top notch We have been using their services for the past 1 12 years. Our daughters speech communication skills and development have grown tremendously. We are extremely grateful and I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks again for all your hard work and for treating our family with such kindness and care.
My toddler son attended Cameron Roberts Speech Therapy twice a week for eight months and we could not happier with the results He went from virtually zero words to exceeding the averages for his age group. His speech therapist Amy was always very professional encouraging and never made my son feel like he was being schooled. Additionally the office staff was always friendly and the facility is bright and clean.
Ive been meaning to leave this review for too long now. Our son has been seeing Cameron for speech and Marissa for OT for a year now and I can not tell you how proud I am of him and his progress and how thankful his father and I are for Cameron and Marissa without crying. We were at our wits end 2 years old with a severe speech delay. We had every evaluation assessment imagined. From being told he has hearing loss to that his hearing is perfect. Tantrums and meltdowns and our hearts breaking because we just want our son to be a little boy. Every step our son was looked at as a patient and not as our beautiful baby boy. When I called Cameron I was a mess had given up on the system that was supposed to be helping us and had looked for a private practice that could really be there for our son. We received great recommendations from the Next Door app I think its called and after doing my own research I was eager to get her on the phone. You guys the first thing Cameron said to me was Tell me about your son. Not what insurance do you have have you gone through regional etc etc. I cried. My son has gone from our wild boy in the corner screaming during his session to full on communicating and talking and telling me about his day his session etc and looking forward to each visit. I cant say enough good things about Cameron and Marissa and their entire staff. They have become our family our son loves them both and the best part to see as a parent...they truly love our son. Thank you is never enough for how theyve helped my son grow and become the confident striving little 3.5 year old he is.
Both Catalina and Caitlin are phenomenal speech therapist. We attended twice weekly for over a year and my children flourished with their help and support. We cant thank them enough
I cant speak highly enough of our experience with Camerons Speech Therapy. The entire staff is kind professional. It has been such a blessing for our little family
Frequently Asked Questions
The simple answer is: whenever you’re ready. You are your child’s greatest advocate and protector. It’s okay if you don’t have all the answers, or aren’t able to perfectly explain everything. You can still educate those around you about your child’s autism when you have the energy to do so. Check out our complete guide for examples and tips.
Teach and practice calming strategies with your child. Helping your child learn how to manage their emotions and reactions is very important. Teach your child different ways they can calm down and relax, such as:
- Deep breathing, counting to 10, using sensory toys (like squishy balls or putty), going for a walk, listening to music
- Build "relaxation time" into their normal routines and schedules
- Practice these when your child is happy and calm so that later, when they’re highly stressed, they can access these skills

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.

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
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.
Even if a provider offers parent training, it may look different from one provider to another. For example, an in-home provider might conduct a parent training session directly following a therapy session with your child to help explain what they’ve been working on with your child. At larger organizations, you might have a support group of families who are dealing with similar issues.
