Pacific Child & Family Associates | CENTRAL COAST

At Pacific Child & Family Associates, Central Coast, we understand how difficult it can be to know if your child needs speech therapy. Speech therapy is the preferred intervention for autistic children, as many have difficulty with social communication. Even if your child is vocal, they may need to work on communication such as responding to questions, changing conversation topics, and understanding other people’s body language. Early intervention is important for language development, as it helps children become more independent and confident. If your child is not speaking, or they are speaking very little, they may need speech therapy. To help you understand more, we’ve created a guide that covers all you need to know about speech therapy. Visit our website to find out more.

At Pacific Child & Family Associates on the Central Coast, we understand that choosing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) for your child is a big decision. We can help you determine if it’s the right choice for your family. Our goal is to provide high quality ABA therapy that helps children learn and reach their potential while embracing their individual personalities. When it comes to ABA, it’s important to watch out for providers who look to “cure” autism. We provide a complete guide to help you start and end ABA therapy, so you can make an informed decision about the best path for your child.
