St. Edmond's Home For Children

At St. Edmond’s Home For Children, we understand how important speech therapy is for children with autism. We can help you determine if your child needs this type of intervention by examining their communication skills. Our experienced professionals will assess if your child is having difficulty with social communication, responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures, and understanding other people’s body language. We can also provide guidance as to when to seek speech therapy, given the critical period in the brain for language development. With our help, your child can learn effective ways to communicate, which will enable them to become more independent and confident. Through our complete guide to speech therapy, you’ll have all the information you need to make the best decision for your child.

At St. Edmond’s Home For Children, our speech therapists are highly trained professionals who can help your child in many ways. Our speech therapy programs focus on helping children to communicate effectively with others through a variety of techniques, including using gestures, signs, verbal speech, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). Our speech therapists can help with nonverbal skills, forming speech in a clearer way, communicating thoughts and feelings, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions, noticing and understanding body language, and feeding and swallowing. We are here to help your child find their voice and reach their full potential.
