Eden II / Genesis Outreach Autism Center

If you’re wondering whether your child needs speech therapy, Eden II / Genesis Outreach Autism Center can help. Speech therapy is almost always recommended for autistic children since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if a child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they might need to work on communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversation, changing conversation topics, using gestures, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention for autistic children and is usually the starting place for recently diagnosed kids. It might be obvious when a child struggles with speaking – they are very quiet, say only a few words, or don’t speak at all. To learn more about speech therapy, our comprehensive guide can provide everything you need to know. At Eden II / Genesis Outreach Autism Center, we can help you determine if your child needs speech therapy and provide the support necessary for their development.

At Eden II/Genesis Outreach Autism Center, we understand how speech therapy can help children with autism improve their communication skills. Our speech therapists use a variety of methods to help your child, such as gestures, simple signs, verbal speech, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). They can also help with nonverbal skills, forming speech in a clearer way, communicating 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. With their help, we are dedicated to helping your child find their voice and succeed in all environments.
