Alliance of Therapy Specialists

At Alliance of Therapy Specialists, we understand that you may be unsure if your child needs speech therapy. If your child has been diagnosed with autism, speech therapy is almost always recommended since many people with autism experience difficulty with social communication. Even if your child is very verbal, they may benefit from speech therapy to help them develop communication skills such as responding to questions, starting and ending conversations, changing topics, or understanding body language. Speech therapy is a crucial part of early intervention for autistic children and is the starting point for newly diagnosed kids. That’s why it’s important to identify and address any language delays as soon as possible. If your child is having trouble speaking, they may be very quiet, only say a few words, or not speak at all. To help you understand all you need to know about speech therapy, Alliance of Therapy Specialists has created an extensive guide to help you on your journey.

At Alliance of Therapy Specialists, we understand how important it is to help your child develop their communication skills. Our team of experienced speech therapists are here to provide the support and guidance your child needs to develop their speech and language skills. Our speech therapy services can help your child learn to communicate effectively with others across all environments, including the use of gestures, simple signs, verbal speech, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). We can also help your child with nonverbal skills, forming speech in a clearer way, communicating thoughts and feelings clearly, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions and their corresponding emotions, noticing and understanding body language, and feeding and swallowing. If your child is struggling with any of these areas, contact Alliance of Therapy Specialists today to see how our speech therapy services can help.
