Integrity Speech Therapy

At Integrity Speech Therapy, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. It is almost always recommended for autistic children due to their difficulty with social communication. Even if your child is very verbal, they may need help with communication skills such as responding to questions, starting and ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is a key part of early intervention for autistic children, and should be done as soon as possible to help them develop language and communication skills which can help them become more independent and confident. If your child is struggling with speaking, such as being very quiet, saying few words, or not speaking at all, then speech therapy may be beneficial. We have a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy so you can make an informed decision for your child.

At Integrity Speech Therapy, our goal is to help your child communicate effectively with others across all environments, utilizing gestures, simple signs, verbal speech, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). Our speech therapists can also work with your child on nonverbal skills, forming speech in a clearer way, communicating thoughts and feelings, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions and their corresponding emotions, noticing and understanding body language, and feeding and swallowing. Our experienced team of speech therapists are dedicated to providing the highest quality speech therapy to help your child reach their fullest potential.
