Janice Blaieder, MS

At Janice Blaieder, MS, we understand that children with autism often have difficulty with social communication, which is why speech therapy is almost always recommended. Through speech therapy, your child will gain skills like responding to questions, starting and ending conversations, using gestures, and understanding other people’s body language. Additionally, as early intervention is a key factor in language development, speech therapy is an important tool for recently diagnosed kids. If you notice that your child is struggling with speaking, our guide to speech therapy provides all the information you’ll need to know.

At Janice Blaieder, MS, we specialize in providing speech therapy tailored to your child’s individual needs. Our therapists will work with your child to help them develop their communication skills, including verbal speech, gestures, or Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). Our therapists can also help your child become more confident with nonverbal communication, such as understanding facial expressions, body language, and responding to questions. We can also provide support with forming speech in a clearer way, as well as with feeding and swallowing. Our goal is to help your child communicate effectively across all environments.
