Helena Autism Therapy Center

At the Helena Autism Therapy Center, we understand that it can be difficult to determine if your child needs speech therapy. It may be obvious if they struggle to communicate, but they may also require extra help building language and communication skills, even if they are verbally proficient. Our experienced therapists can assess your child’s needs and develop a personalized treatment plan that works best for them. We prioritize early intervention and use evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help your child develop the communication skills they need to become more independent and confident.

At Helena Autism Therapy Center, our speech therapists specialize in helping children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) to gain the skills needed for effective communication. Our speech therapists can help with nonverbal skills, forming speech in a clearer way, expressing thoughts and feelings, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions and body language, and feeding and swallowing. Our ultimate goal is to help your child communicate effectively with others across all environments, using methods such as gestures, signs, verbal speech, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC).

At Helena Autism Therapy Center, we understand the importance of ABA therapy and its potential to help those with autism. We recognize that cost can be a barrier to access, which is why we strive to provide comprehensive information about the cost of ABA therapy. Generally, ABA is covered by insurance if you have an autism diagnosis. Insurance may only authorize ABA services for those with an autism diagnosis, as its benefits have been researched extensively. To ensure coverage, always check your specific insurance plan and make sure the provider you are seeking care from is in-network. To learn more about ABA therapy, please view our comprehensive guide.
