Victoria changed our lives and has been such a blessing for our family. My daughter has seen her for the last two years and has progressed in ways we never thought she would. Tori is in constant contact with us about our daughters plan and things we can do at home to continue progressing her journey. She is truly vested in her patients and has given us so much hope. Our entire interaction with STS has been exceptional they go above and beyond.

Our son has been receiving speech therapy services with Abby Taylor for the past 3 years. We initially started somewhere else because our pediatrician was concerned about delayed speech. Quickly we realized there was more to it than that and we found Abby who also agreed that his delayed speech was more than that. She helped us get a proper diagnosis of childhood speech apraxia and with her dedication and amazing rapport with our son he has made sooooo much progress in therapy He is getting ready to start kindergarten and even though we still have work to do I feel more than confident in Abbys ability to continue helping our son make positive gains with his speech Abby is an absolute gem

We adore Abby Taylor at Speech Therapy Solutions. She was amazing with my child in addressing speech concerns I had. My child made so much progress and I was always so impressed at Abbys breadth of knowledge and how well she could explain what was happening with my child to me in simple terms. She was so professional yet warm and understanding. I trusted her completely. I would absolutely recommend her as a speech therapist to anyone I know.

We were referred here from our pediatrician after some concerns for our two year olds speech development. From first contact two days after our referral through to the end of our time here we had a seamless positive and helpful experience.Victoria Bass was wonderful with my two year old. We only had a short time together but her work truly unlocked my childs speech. Victoria was very clear and transparent on what she observed and what she was working on with my child. By the second week in my child was so excited when it was time to go play and talk.When Victoria felt my child was back on track and we stopped our sessions she followed up with me in email with other tips things to watch for and final suggestions to give me peace of mind.I cant recommend Victoria and Speech Therapy Solutions enough

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
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.
Once you find a quality physical therapist you want to work with, here are a few things you need to know:
There will be an evaluation. First, you can expect an assessment to identify your child’s areas of strength and needs. A physical therapy evaluation usually lasts 30 minutes.
You’ll review and approve the care plan. The physical therapist will create a care plan, also known as a plan of care (POC), outlining the goals and strategies. They will review this with you and your care team before moving forward with therapy sessions.
Physical therapy sessions will be fun. PT with children is designed to be enjoyable. The therapist will use strategies and exercises based on your child’s needs. Exercises might involve playing on large stability balls, obstacle courses, movement equipment, stretches, and other hands-on activities.
Expect home exercises. Physical therapists commonly assign exercises to work on at home. Doing these exercises with your child outside therapy sessions can improve your child’s overall progress.
Yes! Most providers offer physical therapy in their offices or a clinical setting, but many are offering at-home options. Virtual options have become more popular in recent years. You might facilitate care with the guidance of the physical therapist.
Pediatric physical therapy is considered safe and should not hurt. Autistic children spend their time in PT moving and exploring their environment. If you are concerned about your child experiencing pain during certain exercises, especially if they may struggle to communicate and advocate for modifications, speak with their physical therapist about your concerns.
