ChildServe – Iowa City

At ChildServe – Iowa City, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is autistic, speech therapy is likely recommended. Even if your child is very verbal, they may need to work on communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is an important part of early intervention for autistic children and can help them become more independent and confident. If your child is struggling with speaking, they may be very quiet, say only a few words, or not speak at all.

At ChildServe in Iowa City, we understand that determining whether or not ABA therapy is right for your child is a big decision. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) can help to improve communication skills, introduce productive habits, and reduce harmful behaviors. However, it’s important to watch out for ABA providers who look to “cure” autism, and understand that the goal of ABA therapy is not to fix children or change who they are, but to help them learn all that they can so they can live to their potential while embracing their unique, individual personality traits. To help you make your decision, we have put together an in-depth guide on starting and ending ABA therapy. Take a look and find the right answer for your family.
