Expressable Speech Therapy | Michigan

At Expressable Speech Therapy, we understand how important communication is for all of us. We know that it can be difficult to determine if your child may benefit from speech therapy, but our first step is to schedule an evaluation with one of our highly-trained speech therapists. They’ll assess your child’s communication development and make a professional recommendation as to whether your child could benefit from speech therapy. Speech therapy is often recommended for autistic children since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if a child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they might need to work on communication skills like: responding to questions, starting or ending conversation, changing conversation topics, using gestures like pointing, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention for autistic children and is usually the starting place for recently diagnosed kids. At Expressable Speech Therapy, our highly-skilled speech therapists can help your child learn effective ways to communicate and grow into more independent and confident individuals. We have a complete guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy, so if you’re unsure if your child may benefit from speech therapy, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re here to help!
