Speech Therapy

This may be beneficial to many autistic children, but often only 1-2 hours/week is available. Speech Therapy has to integrated with form of therapies, such as ABA to be much more effective. ABA will help the children to focus as gain more attention in acquiring the subject matter delivered in speech therapy.

Sign language and PECS may also be very helpful in developing speech. Speech therapists should work on helping the child to hear hard consonant sounds such as the “c” in cup. It is often helpful if the therapist stretches out and enunciates the consonant sounds.
