Little Friends | Center for Autism/ Residential Services/ Respite

At Little Friends Center for Autism and Residential Services, we know how important it is to get the right help for your child. That’s why we provide speech therapy services to help your child learn effective ways to communicate. Our guide to speech therapy can help you determine if your child needs speech therapy, such as if they are very quiet, say only a few words, or don’t speak at all. We also provide respite services to give your family a break and ensure your child gets the best care possible. Reach out to us today to learn more about our speech therapy services and how we can help your child reach their full potential.

At Little Friends, we understand the importance of communication, and our speech therapists are dedicated to helping your child reach their full potential. Our team of experts use a variety of strategies such as gestures, signs, verbal speech, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) to help your child improve their communication skills and increase their confidence. Speech therapy can help your child with nonverbal skills, forming speech in a clearer way, expressing thoughts and feelings, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions, noticing and understanding body language, and even feeding and swallowing. Little Friends provides a supportive environment for children to gain the skills needed to communicate effectively. With our center for autism, residential services, and respite programs, your child can get the help they need to succeed.

Little Friends Center for Autism provides Residential Services and Respite care that incorporate Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. ABA is a science-based therapy that helps individuals build communication, social and daily living skills while minimizing the occurrence of problem behaviors. Our goal is to help our clients to become more independent and self-sufficient. To learn more about ABA, check out our comprehensive guide to ABA therapy.

At Little Friends Center for Autism, we understand that making decisions about your child’s treatment is a difficult and personal process. We believe that Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) has the potential to help individuals with autism improve communication skills, establish productive habits, and reduce potentially harmful behaviors. However, we caution families to be aware of providers who look to “cure” autism – that is not an approach we endorse. At Little Friends, we strive to help children learn to the best of their abilities and embrace their unique personalities. For more information, we invite you to explore our guide on starting and ending ABA therapy.

At Little Friends Center for Autism, we understand that ABA therapy can be costly, so we have compiled a complete guide to help you understand the cost of ABA therapy. Our guide outlines when ABA is typically covered by insurance and which plans offer the most coverage. We also provide information on which providers are in-network and what to look for when choosing the right provider for your family. With Little Friends, you can have peace of mind knowing you have the information you need to make the most informed decision when it comes to ABA therapy and its associated costs.
