Building Bridges Therapy Center

If you’re wondering if your child needs speech therapy, Building Bridges Therapy Center can help. Speech therapy is almost always recommended for autistic children due to issues with social communication. Even if your child is very verbal, they may need to work on communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversation, changing conversation topics, and understanding body language. At Building Bridges Therapy Center, we provide early intervention for autistic children to help them learn effective ways to communicate and grow into more confident individuals. If your child struggles with speaking, our complete guide to speech therapy can provide more details on how we can help.

At Building Bridges Therapy Center, we believe that speech therapy can help build bridges to better communication. Our therapists work with children to develop verbal speech and nonverbal skills, forming clear speech, understanding and responding to questions, and discerning facial expressions and emotions. We also help with feeding and swallowing difficulties as well as stuttering. With our expertise in Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), we strive to help your child communicate effectively across all environments.

At Building Bridges Therapy Center, we understand the importance of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. Our experts are well-versed in the science of learning and behavior, using principles of ABA to help children and adults learn to improve communication, social, and daily living skills, as well as address problematic behaviors. Our mission is to teach helpful skills that promote independence and reduce negative behaviors. To learn more about ABA therapy, please explore our complete guide.

At Building Bridges Therapy Center, we understand that it can be a difficult decision to determine if applied behavior analysis (ABA) is right for your child. We believe the goal of ABA therapy should not be to “fix” children or make them appear “less autistic,” but to support them to reach their full potential while learning to embrace their unique personalities. Our team of experts can help you make an informed decision and provide guidance to start and end ABA therapy. Check out our guide on ABA therapy for more information.

At Building Bridges Therapy Center, we understand that one of the most important questions when considering ABA therapy is how much it will cost. Generally, ABA services are covered by insurance if your child has an autism diagnosis. Autism is typically the only diagnosis that insurance will authorize for ABA services, as its benefits have been well-researched. To ensure that the ABA therapy you are considering is covered for your child’s diagnosis, check your specific insurance plan first. Additionally, make sure that the provider you are seeking care from is in-network. To help you understand more about ABA therapy, we have created a comprehensive guide.
