Clearbrook Center Child and Family Connections

At Clearbrook Center Child and Family Connections, we understand that it can be difficult to determine if your child needs speech therapy. If your child has been diagnosed with autism, speech therapy is almost always recommended to help with social communication. This is because there are many specific areas in which autistic people have difficulty communicating, such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is an important part of early intervention for autistic children, and is the first step in helping them learn effective communication skills. If your child is very quiet, says only a few words, or doesn’t speak at all, it might be time to look into speech therapy. To learn more about speech therapy and how it can benefit your child, please visit our comprehensive guide on the subject.

At Clearbrook Center Child and Family Connections, speech therapy can help your child communicate more effectively in a variety of ways. Our therapists can help with nonverbal skills, forming speech more clearly, expressing thoughts and feelings, understanding questions, discerning facial expressions, understanding body language, feeding and swallowing, and even stuttering. With speech therapy, your child will be able to take on the world with the confidence of effective communication.

At Clearbrook Center Child and Family Connections, we understand that you may have questions about the cost of ABA therapy. Generally, ABA is typically covered by insurance if your child has an autism diagnosis, as this is the only diagnosis insurance will authorize for ABA services due to its documented benefits. It is important to check with your specific insurance plan to ensure that ABA is covered for your child’s diagnosis and that the provider you are seeking care from is in-network.
