Speech Therapy

At the Children’s Autism Center, our team focuses on ABA principles to target communication skills. Clients receive direct speech and language therapies, consultative speech, language services, as well as in-home parent training.

The team at the Children’s Autism Center includes, the board-certified behavior analyst (BCBA), the speech and language pathologist (SLP), the registered behavior technicians (RBTs), and the caregivers. The SLP and the BCBA collaborate to identify communication skills that focus on each client’s stage throughout the ABA program.
