The Role of Speech Therapy in Autism

Speech therapy is one of the most effective ways to help children with autism improve communication. Many autistic children struggle with verbal and non-verbal skills like eye contact, tone of voice, or even using words. Speech therapy targets these challenges in a structured and supportive environment.

Techniques Used by Speech Therapists

Therapists use a variety of techniques such as:

• Picture Exchange Communication Systems (PECS)
• Sign language and gestures
• Interactive games and storytelling These methods are personalized to match each child’s current abilities and build up their confidence.

Encouraging Communication at Home

Parents play a vital role in supporting speech therapy. Our therapists guide parents on how to create communication-friendly spaces at home using simple tools like visual charts, daily routines, and consistent responses. Even small efforts, like naming objects during play, can make a big difference in progress.
