The Helix School

At The Helix School, we understand how important it is to identify if your child needs speech therapy. Speech therapy can help to increase a child’s communication skills, such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, understanding other people’s body language, and more. Early intervention for autistic children is especially important for language development and to teach communication skills. If you think your child might need speech therapy, The Helix School has put together a guide to help you learn more about speech therapy and how it can help your child. With our comprehensive guide, you can gain the knowledge and confidence to make the best decision for your child.

At The Helix School, our speech therapists are dedicated to helping your child improve their communication skills in a variety of ways. Our speech therapy services are tailored to your child’s specific needs and may include strategies such as using gestures, simple signs, verbal speech, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). We also strive to help with nonverbal skills, forming speech in a clearer way, communicating thoughts and feelings clearly, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions, noticing and understanding body language, and feeding and swallowing. Our ultimate goal is to help your child communicate effectively in all environments.
