Speech Therapy
At Milestones, we support each child’s unique communication style through fun, individualized therapy that helps them connect, express themselves, and thrive.
What To Expect
Building Functional Communication:
We focus on helping your child communicate in meaningful ways—whether through words, gestures, AAC devices, or other strategies. The goal is for children to express their needs and connect with others, no matter the modality.
Individualized & Play-Based:
Personalized plans using your child’s interests to make learning fun.
Collaborative:
We integrate ABA principles with input from our BCBA team to build communication naturally into daily life.
Family-Focused:
We partner with families, offering tools and strategies to support progress beyond the therapy room.
We also offer support with AAC (Augmentative & Alternative Communication) and multimodal communication, ensuring your child can express themselves clearly in the way that works best for them.
Our Speech Therapy Philosophy
We embrace a neurodiversity-affirming approach, recognizing and celebrating the unique ways each child’s brain works. We understand that children may experience and communicate differently, and we aim to provide therapy that is inclusive, respectful, and empowering. Our approach includes:
- Affirming autism as a natural variation of human neurology, not something to “fix.” Our goal is to support communication, not change who the child is.
- Encouraging self-advocacy by helping children express their needs and preferences in their own way.
- Celebrating strengths such as creativity, focused interests, and unique problem-solving skills, and using those strengths as a foundation for growth.
