At the Minnesota Autism Center, we understand how important speech therapy is for autistic children. If you’re wondering if your child needs speech therapy, some signs to look out for include difficulty responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, and understanding body language. Early intervention is critical for the development of language skills, so it’s important to start speech therapy as soon as possible. Our comprehensive guide will help you understand everything you need to know about speech therapy for autistic children.

At Minnesota Autism Center, we understand the importance of communication and how it can help those with autism. Our speech therapists can work with individuals to help them develop the necessary skills to express themselves effectively. Our speech therapists are experienced in helping individuals improve their nonverbal skills, forming speech in a clearer way, communicating thoughts and feelings clearly, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions and emotions, noticing and understanding body language, and even feeding and swallowing. Our speech therapy services can help your child reach their maximum communication potential.

At Minnesota Autism Center, we specialize in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy – the science of learning and behavior. ABA therapy helps children and adults to improve communication, social, and daily living skills, and address problematic or challenging behaviors. Our ultimate goal is to empower individuals with the skills they need to live independently and reduce harmful behaviors. Learn more about ABA therapy and the services we offer by reading our comprehensive guide.

At Minnesota Autism Center, we believe it’s a big decision to make for your family when deciding on ABA therapy for your child. Our complete guide to start and end ABA therapy is a great resource for understanding the goals of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). ABA seeks to improve communication skills, introduce productive habits, and reduce harmful behaviors. However, it is important to be mindful of ABA providers who look to “cure” autism, as the goal of ABA therapy is to help people learn all they can while embracing their unique, individual personality traits.

At the Minnesota Autism Center, we understand the importance of ABA therapy for autism. We understand the costs associated with it can be daunting, so we want to provide some guidance. ABA is usually covered by insurance if you have an autism diagnosis. Autism is typically the only diagnosis insurance will authorize for ABA services since its benefits have been researched extensively. Always check with your specific insurance plan to confirm that ABA is covered for your child’s diagnoses and that the provider you are seeking care at is in-network. To give you a better understanding of the costs associated with ABA therapy, we’ve created a comprehensive guide that covers everything you need to know.
