ABLE Health | Tukwila

At ABLE Health in Tukwila, we understand that knowing whether your child needs speech therapy can be daunting. While it is almost always recommended for autistic children, many other children may need speech therapy if they have difficulty with social communication such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures, or understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention for autistic children, and can be especially important in order to teach language and communication skills during the critical period in the brain for language development. With speech therapy, your child can learn effective ways to communicate and become more independent and confident. Signs that your child may need speech therapy might include difficulty speaking, being very quiet, saying only a few words, or not speaking at all. To help guide you through this process, ABLE Health has created a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy.

ABA seeks to improve communication skills, introduce productive habits, and reduce harmful behaviors. We also caution you to watch out for ABA providers who look to “cure” autism as this is not the goal of ABA therapy.
