At Dr. Debs Center for Child and Family Development, we understand the importance of early intervention when it comes to speech therapy for autistic children. We know it can be difficult to determine if your child needs speech therapy or not, and that’s why we’ve created a comprehensive guide to help you understand the signs and benefits of speech therapy. Our guide covers topics such as: responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures, understanding other people’s body language, and more. With our guide, you can be sure you are making the right decision regarding your child’s speech therapy needs. We are here to help you and your child develop their communication skills so that they can become more independent and confident in their abilities.

At Dr. Debs Center for Child and Family Development, we understand the importance of making the right decision for your child. We are here to provide you with the resources and support you need to make an informed decision about whether Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the right choice for your child. With our complete guide to ABA therapy, you can learn more about how ABA seeks to improve communication skills, introduce productive habits, and reduce harmful behaviors. Additionally, you can be sure to watch out for ABA providers who look to “cure” autism, as the goal of high-quality ABA therapy is not to “fix” children, make them appear “less autistic”, or change who they are, but rather to help people learn all that they can so they can live to their potential while embracing their unique, individual personality traits. At Dr. Debs Center for Child and Family Development, we are here to help you make the best decision for your child.
