At Success on the Spectrum, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is autistic, speech therapy is almost always recommended as it assists with social communication. Even if a child is very verbal, they may still benefit from speech therapy to improve communication skills such as responding to questions, starting conversations, changing topics, and understanding body language. Speech therapy is a primary focus in early intervention for autistic children and is essential to help them learn language and communication skills. It is important to provide speech therapy as early as possible to help your child grow into a more independent and confident individual. If you’re unsure if your child needs speech therapy, our guide will provide all the information you need to know.
At Success on the Spectrum in Houston, our speech therapists can help your child learn to communicate effectively by teaching them nonverbal skills, improving verbal speech clarity, helping them to communicate thoughts and feelings, and teaching them to understand and respond to questions.

At Success on the Spectrum, we understand that deciding whether ABA is right for your child is a big decision for your family. We provide comprehensive guidance to help you start and end ABA therapy and ensure that you are making the best decision for your child. Our goal is to help you learn more about ABA and its potential benefits and to ensure that you are working with a quality provider. We emphasize that ABA should not be used to “cure” autism or make a person appear “less autistic.” Instead, ABA should be used to improve communication skills, introduce productive habits, and reduce harmful behaviors, while allowing the individual to embrace their unique, individual personality traits.
