Otsimo

At Otsimo, we understand how important it is to ensure that your child is getting the right support. If you’re wondering if your child needs speech therapy, there are a few things you should look out for. Speech therapy is often recommended for autistic children since many have difficulty with social communication. If your child has any delays in language development, speech therapy is a great starting place for them. Signs that your child might need speech therapy include difficulty responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing topics, using gestures and understanding other people’s body language. If you’re looking for more information on speech therapy, you can check out our complete guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy on our website.

At Otsimo, we understand that speech therapy can help your child in a number of ways. Our speech therapists can help your child with nonverbal skills, forming speech in a clearer way, communicating thoughts and feelings clearly, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions and their corresponding emotions, noticing and understanding body language, and feeding and swallowing. We use a variety of methods, such as gestures, simple signs, verbal speech, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), to help your child communicate effectively with others in all environments.
