Pathways Strategic Teaching Center

At Pathways Strategic Teaching Center, we understand that it can be difficult to determine if your child needs speech therapy. Speech therapy is often recommended for children with autism, as they can have difficulty with social communication. Your child might need speech therapy if they struggle with responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing the topic of conversation, using gestures, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is a critical part of early intervention for autistic children and is the starting place for recently diagnosed kids. Pathways Strategic Teaching Center offers comprehensive guidance on everything you need to know about speech therapy and the various benefits it can have for your child. We can help you decide if your child needs speech therapy and provide the best treatment for their specific needs.

At Pathways Strategic Teaching Center, our speech therapy team is dedicated to helping your child communicate effectively. Our expert therapists can help your child to use gestures, signs, verbal speech, AAC, and more. We also specialize in teaching nonverbal skills, forming speech more clearly, expressing thoughts and feelings, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions, understanding body language, and improving feeding and swallowing. With the help of our speech therapy team, your child will have the tools they need to communicate confidently.

At Pathways Strategic Teaching Center, we specialize in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. ABA therapy is a science-based approach to helping children and adults develop communication, social, and daily-living skills. Our experienced clinicians focus on teaching skills that promote independence and reducing problematic behaviors. We are here to help you understand the principles of ABA therapy and all that it entails. Visit our website for a comprehensive guide to ABA therapy and how it can benefit you or your loved one.

At Pathways Strategic Teaching Center, we understand that it’s a big decision to make for your family when considering Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). We think it’s important to be aware that ABA providers who look to “cure” autism should be avoided. Quality ABA therapy should focus on helping individuals learn so they can live to their potential while embracing their unique, individual personality traits. We offer a comprehensive guide to help you start and end ABA therapy with confidence.

At Pathways Strategic Teaching Center, we understand that you may be wondering about the cost of ABA therapy for your child. ABA therapy is usually covered by insurance when your child has an autism diagnosis, though it is important to check with your specific insurance plan to make sure that ABA is covered and that the provider you are seeking care from is in-network.
