Have questions?

At Susie Ford, PHD, we understand how important it is to recognize if your child needs speech therapy. Speech therapy is an essential part of early intervention for autistic children, as it helps to develop language and communication skills. If you notice that your child is very quiet, says only a few words, or doesn’t speak at all, then they may need speech therapy. Our comprehensive guide provides everything you need to know about speech therapy and can help you identify if your child needs it. Get in touch with us today to find out more about how we can help your child reach their communication goals.
At Susie Ford, PHD, our speech therapists can help your child communicate effectively, by utilizing gestures, signs, verbal speech, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). We can also assist in improving 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. Our highly trained professionals are here to help your child reach their communication goals.
Contact Phone number is (706) 326-3301.
