Speech Language Pathology in Motion

At Speech Language Pathology in Motion, we understand that it can be difficult to determine if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is autistic, then speech therapy is almost always recommended as many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if your child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they may need to work on communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is an important part of early intervention for autistic children and is the starting point for kids recently diagnosed. With our complete guide to speech therapy, you can find out if your child needs speech therapy and learn effective ways to help your child communicate better, become more independent and confident, and reach their full potential.

At Speech Language Pathology in Motion, we strive to help children communicate effectively across all environments. Our speech therapy sessions focus on nonverbal skills, such as signs or gestures, forming speech more clearly, communicating thoughts and feelings, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions and body language, and addressing stuttering challenges. We use a range of strategies including Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) to help children reach their communication potential.
