Lumen Pediatric Therapy

At Lumen Pediatric Therapy, we understand that parents may want to know if their child needs speech therapy. Speech therapy is often recommended for autistic children since they may have difficulty with social communication. Even if a child is very verbal, they might need to work on communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending a conversation, changing conversation topics, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is also a major focus in early intervention for autistic children, as there is a critical period in the brain for language development. By teaching language and communication skills as early as possible, your child can learn effective ways to communicate, leading to more independence and confidence. If your child is quiet, says only a few words, or does not speak at all, speech therapy may be beneficial for them. To learn more about speech therapy, read our complete guide.

At Lumen Pediatric Therapy, our speech therapists are specialized in helping your child communicate more effectively. We understand that it can be a challenging process, and our team is dedicated to providing tailored support to your child with speech-related goals. Our individualized therapy sessions can help with a range of issues, from nonverbal communication to understanding facial expressions and body language, to forming speech more clearly and learning to use AAC. We believe that all children have the potential to improve their communication and social skills, and we are here to provide guidance and support along the way.

At Lumen Pediatric Therapy, we specialize in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, a scientifically-based therapy that helps children and adults learn to improve their communication, social, and daily living skills. Our goal is to teach helpful skills that promote independence and reduce any challenging behaviors. As experts in ABA therapy, we provide comprehensive guidance to help you better understand the approach and how it can benefit your child.

At Lumen Pediatric Therapy, we understand how important it is to make the right decision for your child. We believe that Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a great option for many children. ABA seeks to improve communication skills, introduce productive habits, and reduce harmful behaviors. However, it’s important to be aware of providers who may be looking to “cure” autism. High quality ABA therapy is about helping children reach their potential in a way that acknowledges and embraces their unique personality traits. To help you make an informed decision, we have created a comprehensive guide to beginning and ending ABA therapy.
