Children's Institute for Learning Differences

At Children’s Institute for Learning Differences, we understand that speech therapy can be an important part of early intervention for autistic children. If you’re not sure if your child needs speech therapy, there are several signs to look for, such as difficulty responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing topics, using gestures, and understanding body language. We also know that there is a critical period for language development, which is why it’s important to start speech therapy as early as possible. If your child is very quiet, says only a few words, or doesn’t speak at all, they may need speech therapy. To learn more, take a look at our complete guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy.

At the Children’s Institute for Learning Differences, we offer comprehensive speech therapy that can help your child develop their communication skills in a variety of ways. Our speech therapists are experienced and knowledgeable in developing nonverbal skills, forming clear speech, communicating thoughts and feelings, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions, understanding body language, feeding, and swallowing. If your child is struggling with any of these communication skills, our speech therapy services can help them reach their fullest potential.
