Autism Spectrum Consultants | San Diego County Office

At Autism Spectrum Consultants, we understand that determining if your child needs speech therapy can be overwhelming. Our San Diego County Office is here to help you navigate this journey. Speech therapy is almost always recommended for autistic children since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. It can help them learn effective ways to communicate, which will help them grow into more independent and confident individuals. If your 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, and understanding other people’s body language. It’s important to recognize the signs of a speech delay, such as being very quiet, saying only a few words, or not speaking at all. At Autism Spectrum Consultants, we provide resources and guidance to help you understand if your child needs speech therapy and can provide the support you need to make the best decision for your family.

At Autism Spectrum Consultants, our San Diego County office provides speech therapy services which can help your child communicate more effectively. Our speech therapy sessions are designed to address 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, and feeding and swallowing. Additionally, we can also help with stuttering. Our experienced and knowledgeable speech therapists are dedicated to helping your child become a more confident and successful communicator.
