Speech Therapy
Speech therapy (or ST) helps people with communication or speech challenges. Many autistic children have communication difficulties.
A speech language pathologist (or SLP) often helps people communicate in different ways. Sometimes speech language pathologists can help children use augmentative or alternative communication. Some speech language pathologists may support children who struggle to chew or swallow foods.
A diagnosis of autism is not required for a child to receive speech therapy. A doctor may have to write a prescription for your child to start speech therapy.
