Autistic Comprehensive Educational Services | Aiea

At Autistic Comprehensive Educational Services (Aiea), we understand how important it is to support speech development in children with autism. We offer a range of speech therapy services to help children learn communication skills, such as responding to questions, starting and ending conversations, changing conversation topics, and understanding body language. Speech therapy is a key part of early intervention for autistic children, and it’s essential to provide these services as soon as possible to ensure language development takes place during the critical period in the brain. Signs that a child may need speech therapy can include difficulty with speaking, using only a few words, or being very quiet. To help you understand more about speech therapy, we’ve created a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know.

At Autistic Comprehensive Educational Services (Aiea), we understand that speech therapy can help children of all ages and abilities develop the ability to communicate effectively. Our speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are trained to help your child with a variety of communication needs, including nonverbal skills such as signs and gestures, forming speech in a clearer way, and understanding facial expressions and body language. We also specialize in helping children with feeding and swallowing difficulties as well as those who stutter. Through our comprehensive speech therapy services, we strive to provide your child with the tools they need to communicate effectively with others across all environments.

At Autistic Comprehensive Educational Services (ACES) in Aiea, we specialize in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. ABA is a therapy rooted in the science of learning and behavior, designed to help children and adults improve communication skills, social skills, and daily living skills while addressing problematic or challenging behaviors. Our primary goal is to help you or your loved one gain independence and reduce harmful behaviors. Learn more about ABA therapy by reading our comprehensive guide.

At Autistic Comprehensive Educational Services (AiCE), we understand that deciding whether or not to pursue Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy for your child is a difficult decision. We believe in offering high-quality ABA therapy that promotes learning, communication skills, and productive habits while also respecting each individual’s unique personality traits. Our comprehensive guide can provide you with the information you need to make the right decision for your child. We urge families to watch out for providers who look to “cure” autism, as this is not the goal of ABA therapy. With AiCE, you can trust that your child will receive the best care possible.
