Welcome to our Autism Spectrum Disorder Therapy section at Sherwood Park Speech Therapy. We understand the unique joys and challenges that come with being a parent or caregiver to a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Communication may be one of those challenges, but you’re not navigating this path alone. We’re dedicated to supporting both you and your child throughout this journey.
ASD affects how a child interacts, communicates, and behaves, with some children experiencing difficulties in verbal communication and others in understanding social cues. No matter where your child falls on the spectrum, our knowledgeable team is ready to assist.
Our skilled speech-language pathologists specialize in addressing the complexities associated with ASD. Recognizing the individuality of each child on the spectrum, we customize our therapy to match their specific needs, starting from their current abilities and working towards growth.
Therapy sessions are designed to be enjoyable, engaging, and tailored to the child’s interests and requirements, whether it involves improving verbal communication, enhancing social communication skills, or utilizing AAC systems. Our primary goal is to boost the child’s capacity for self-expression and comprehension of others.
Our approach extends beyond the child to include the family. We advocate for a collaborative therapy strategy, where parents and caregivers are vital contributors. You’ll receive guidance and strategies to facilitate your child’s communicative development at home.
At Sherwood Park Speech Therapy, our Autism Spectrum Disorder Therapy focuses on empowering children with ASD to communicate more effectively. We celebrate each child’s unique perspective of the world and are committed to helping them share their experiences.
If you’re considering initiating therapy for your child, or if you’re seeking advice, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re ready to support you and are excited about the opportunity to be a part of your child’s communication journey.
