Language Development
Speech therapists work on enhancing language
skills, focusing on both expressive language
(verbal communication) and receptive language
(understanding spoken language). They use
structured activities and interactive games to
encourage vocabulary expansion, sentence
formation, and comprehension.

Improving Pronunciation
Many individuals with autism struggle with
articulating sounds correctly, which can impact
their overall communication clarity. Speech
therapists use exercises, techniques, and
repetition to help improve speech sounds,
pronunciation, and oral motor skills.

turns, maintain eye contact, and interpret body
language.
