Welcome to Aurora Speech Clinic: Celebrating Communication Diversity
At Aurora Speech Clinic, one of our clinical areas of focus at our speech therapy clinic is autism spectrum disorder.
We believe in embracing the unique communication styles of autistic people. We understand that each person’s journey is different, and we are here to provide support, guidance, and empowerment.
Our dedicated team of speech-language pathologists specializes in working with autistic people to enhance their communication skills and foster a neurodiversity affirming environment.
Our Approach
We celebrate the diversity of communication styles and work to uncover the strengths and capabilities of each individual. Our speech-language pathologists are trained in the most up to date, evidence based strategies that align with a neurodiversity affirming perspective.
We believe in the power of communication and strive to create a safe and inclusive space for neurodivergent individuals.
Our Services
Aurora Speech Clinic offers a comprehensive range of services tailored to meet the unique needs of our autistic clients.
Our SLPs are experienced in working with individuals of all ages and across the spectrum.
Here are some of the areas we focus on:
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)
We provide support and training in using AAC systems and devices to enhance communication for individuals who may have minimal speaking skills or face challenges with speech production.
Language Development
We offer targeted interventions to enhance language skills, including vocabulary development, comprehension, grammar, and narrative skills. Our pediatric speech-language pathologists create individualized treatment plans to support language growth and expression.
Social Communication Skills
Our speech-language pathologists use evidence based techniques to help autistic people develop and improve their social communication skills. We focus on fostering meaningful interactions, understanding nonverbal cues, perspective taking, and navigating social situations. Our goal is to help individuals navigate social interactions with confidence and authenticity.
Sensory Integration
Our speech-language pathologists are knowledgeable about the sensory processing challenges often associated with autism. We collaborate with occupational therapists to create sensory friendly environments and support self regulation such that your child can participate optimally in therapy.
Collaborative Approach
We believe in the power of collaboration. Our speech-language pathologists work closely with families, occupational therapists, educators, and other healthcare professionals to create a holistic support system that extends beyond therapy sessions. We aim empower everyone involved in the individual’s journey.
Autonomy and Self Advocacy
Building self advocacy skills can have lifelong benefits for autistic children and teens. We support our clients to learn about their strengths and challenges. This can help express their wants, needs, choices and opinions, assert themselves and solve problems. Each of these are skills that are vital beyond the clinic walls. We work to empower our clients to feel autonomous, confident, and self accepting.
