Intensive ABA therapy can effectively address the root causes of speech and communication challenges in children with autism, especially when treatment begins soon after diagnosis. The success of ABA therapy lies in its approach that includes positive reinforcement, customized treatment plans, and ample practice with our experienced Board-Certified Behavior Analysts and Registered Behavior Technicians.

Our therapist not only helps children with autism overcome behavioural challenges but also provides a supportive environment for enhancing communication skills, both for verbal and nonverbal children. Targeted speech therapy can greatly improve a child’s ability to speak and communicate, leading to long-lasting positive changes. Additionally, we can help with speech by building vocabularies and developing programs and goals that help to teach the names of objects in a person’s environment, teaching individuals how to ask for things, expanding on language to make more complex sentences, and understanding the subtleties of language like sarcasm and humour.

Our therapists uses a variety of methods to teach and improve a child’s communication skills through very careful practice. Some of those techniques include:

Matching emotions with facial expressions
Strengthening face and jaw muscles associated with speech
Learning to understand body language
Learning to respond directly to questions and when being addressed
Practicing tone of voice
Matching images with sounds and words
Honing social skills
