Northwest ABA

At Northwest ABA, we understand that it can be difficult to know when your child needs speech therapy. Speech therapy is often recommended for autistic children since many have difficulty with social communication skills. Even if your child is very verbal, they may need additional help with communication skills, such as: responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is a critical part of early intervention for autistic children and helps them to become more independent and confident communicators. If you notice that your child is very quiet, says only a few words, or doesn’t speak at all, then it may be time to consider speech therapy. Our complete guide to speech therapy can provide you with all the information you need to make the best decision for your child.

At Northwest ABA, our speech therapists are experienced in helping children develop better communication skills. We provide comprehensive speech therapy services that focus on helping children understand and use verbal speech, gestures, and signs. Additionally, our therapists can help with nonverbal skills, forming speech in a clear way, communicating thoughts and feelings, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions, noticing and understanding body language, and feeding and swallowing. Through our speech therapy services, we strive to help children communicate effectively in all environments.
