OPTC Yukon Therapy Clinic

At OPTC Yukon Therapy Clinic, we understand that it can be difficult to determine if your child needs speech therapy. That’s why we offer our complete guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy. Speech therapy is almost always recommended for autistic children since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if a child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they may still need to work on communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures like pointing, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention for autistic children and is usually the starting place for recently diagnosed kids. It’s important to teach language and communication skills as early as possible, especially if there are any delays in that area. With OPTC Yukon Therapy Clinic, your child will learn effective ways to communicate which will help them grow into more independent and confident individuals. If you think your child is struggling with speaking—they are very quiet, say only a few words, or don’t speak at all—contact us today to learn more about our speech therapy services.

At OPTC Yukon Therapy Clinic, we specialize in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. ABA is a form of therapy based on the science of learning and behavior. Our ABA therapy programs are designed to help children and adults improve their communication, social, and daily living skills while also addressing any challenging or problematic behaviors. Our goal is to empower individuals to become more independent and reduce any harmful behaviors. We have created a comprehensive guide to help you understand ABA therapy and how it can help you or a loved one. Visit our website to learn more about ABA therapy and the programs we offer.

At OPTC Yukon Therapy Clinic, we understand making decisions about your child’s health can be difficult. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based approach that can help children of all ages to improve communication skills, introduce productive habits, and reduce harmful behaviors. However, it’s important to be aware of ABA providers who may attempt to “cure” autism. We strive to provide high-quality ABA therapy with a goal of helping children learn to their full potential while embracing their unique personality traits.
