Aspire Behavioral Health Center

At Aspire Behavioral Health Center, we understand the importance of speech therapy for children on the autism spectrum. If you’re unsure whether your child needs speech therapy, look out for signs like difficulty responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing topics, using gestures, and understanding other people’s body language. Early intervention is key for language development, so it’s important to identify any delays and start therapy as soon as possible. Our guide will help you understand everything you need to know about speech therapy and how it can help your child become more independent and confident.

At Aspire Behavioral Health Center, our speech therapists can help your child develop a variety of communication skills. These include nonverbal skills, such as signs or gestures, forming speech more clearly, communicating thoughts and feelings, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions and their corresponding emotions, understanding body language, and addressing issues with feeding and swallowing or stuttering. Our speech therapy approach is designed to help your child communicate effectively with others in all environments, including the use of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC).

At Aspire Behavioral Health Center, we specialize in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. Our ABA therapy program consists of using principles of learning and behavior to help children and adults learn to improve their communication, social, and daily living skills, as well as reduce challenging behaviors. Our main objective is to provide individuals with the skills they need to become independent and lead meaningful lives. If you would like to know more about ABA therapy, please take a look at our comprehensive guide.
