Center for Autism Spectrum Treatment (CAST)

At CAST, the Center for Autism Spectrum Treatment, we understand the importance of speech therapy for children with autism. We understand that many children with autism have difficulty with social communication and that speech therapy can be a great way to help them improve these skills. Speech therapy can help children learn to respond to questions, start and end conversations, understand other people’s body language and much more. It is a critical part of early intervention for autistic children and can help them become more independent and confident individuals. If your child is very quiet, says only a few words, or doesn’t speak at all, it may be time to consider speech therapy. Our guide will provide you with everything you need to know about speech therapy. Feel free to contact us at CAST, the Center for Autism Spectrum Treatment, and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

At CAST, our Center for Autism Spectrum Treatment, we understand that speech therapy can be an invaluable asset in helping children with autism communicate effectively. Our therapeutic approach focuses on building nonverbal skills, like signs or gestures, forming speech in a clearer way, expressing 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. Through our customized and individualized treatment plans, we strive to ensure that each of our clients reach their full potential and gain the skills necessary to effectively interact with the world around them.

At CAST, we specialize in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. ABA is a science-based therapy used to help children and adults with autism reach their full potential. Our ABA therapy focuses on teaching helpful skills and reducing challenging behaviors, ultimately helping individuals gain greater independence. Learn more about ABA therapy with our comprehensive guide.

At Center for Autism Spectrum Treatment (CAST), we understand the importance of finding the right ABA therapy for your child. We know that making this decision can be challenging and complex. That’s why we provide insight into the facts and benefits of ABA therapy, and the importance of finding a high quality provider who looks to support rather than “cure” your child’s autism. We provide a guide to help you start and end ABA therapy, and we are here to help you make the best choice for your family.

At CAST, the Center for Autism Spectrum Treatment, we understand that the cost of ABA therapy can be a concern for parents. However, ABA therapy is typically covered by insurance if your child has an autism diagnosis. While Autism is usually the only diagnosis that insurance will authorize for ABA services, it’s important to always check with your specific insurance plan to confirm that ABA is covered for your child’s diagnoses and that the provider you are seeking care at is in-network. CAST provides a complete guide to everything you need to know about ABA therapy, so you can make an informed decision about the best care for your child.
