How can speech therapy help a child with autism?

Speech therapy plays a vital role in supporting autistic children. It targets:

  • Functional communication (verbal or non-verbal)

  • Social skills and interaction

  • Understanding and using language

  • AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) where appropriate

  • Reducing frustration related to communication difficulties

Therapists often use evidence-based approaches such as play-based therapy and visual supports, working closely with parents, educators, and other professionals.
