Speech Therapy involves more than simply the physical act of speech. Verbal language and speech
make up only a part of communication. Speech Therapy also develops the ability to interpret
facial expressions and body language: subtle communication signals that people with autism
often miss. In addition, Speech Therapy develops social skills associated with language.
Children with autism learn how to take part in conversations during our
Playgroup, including turn-taking and
listening skills. In some instances, Speech Therapy focuses on teaching alternative means of
communication such as sign language or through the use of an augmentative communication
system.
