Explorer Development Center

At Explorer Development Center, we understand the importance of recognizing when your child needs speech therapy. Many children with autism have difficulty with social communication, and speech therapy is often a key component of early intervention. Whether your child is verbal or non-verbal, they may benefit from speech therapy to learn how to effectively communicate with others. Our guide to speech therapy can help you identify if your child needs speech therapy and understand how to get them the help they need to develop their language and communication skills.

At Explorer Development Center, we understand how beneficial speech therapy can be to help your child communicate effectively with other people. Our speech therapists are trained to help your child with a variety of issues, including nonverbal skills such as signs or gestures, 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, feeding, and swallowing. Additionally, we provide Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) for further assistance. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help your child with speech therapy.

At Explorer Development Center, we know ABA therapy is an important tool for helping children and adults with their communication, social, and daily living skills. ABA therapy is rooted in the science of learning and behavior, and its primary goal is to improve skills and reduce any challenging or harmful behaviors. To better understand ABA therapy, we’ve put together this comprehensive guide to cover all the basics.

At Explorer Development Center, we understand that making the decision to pursue Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy for your child is a big one. Our guide provides all the information you need to know about ABA, from understanding its goals to finding the right ABA provider. We believe that ABA should never be used to “fix”, “cure” or change a child, but rather to help children learn and reach their potential while embracing their unique personality traits. We’re here to help you make the best decision for your family.
