Northwest Autism Center

At Northwest Autism Center, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy or not. That’s why we’ve created a comprehensive guide to help you determine whether your child might need speech therapy. Our guide covers topics such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures, understanding body language and more. We believe that early intervention is key for autistic children, which is why we focus heavily on speech therapy as an important part of early intervention. Whether your child is very verbal or barely speaks, speech therapy can help them learn effective ways to communicate and become more independent and confident. If you think your child might need speech therapy, read our guide to learn more about the signs and benefits of speech therapy.

At Northwest Autism Center, we understand that communication skills are the foundation for successful socialization and interactions with the world. Our speech therapy program can help your child develop and improve their verbal and nonverbal communication skills. We specialize in helping children develop their receptive and expressive language, articulation, and fluency. Our speech therapists can also help with developing nonverbal skills such as gestures, facial expressions, and body language. We strive to help your child become comfortable with using verbal and alternative communication methods and to make sure their speech is clear and understandable.
