How Can ABA and Speech Therapy
Help In Autism Treatment?
• ABA is used in combination with speech therapy to enhance the communication
channel between the instructor and the student. When someone has autism it is
usually hard for them to learn vocal speech, this is one of the biggest obstacles
in dealing with children with autism.
• Speech therapy helps a person, particularly a child to learn a language. The
therapist will motivate a child with autism to associated feelings with words and
objects. This method allows the child to learn the names of different objects
easily. In this treatment method, the child is not limited to focus on labels like
bottle, toys, cats, dogs. Instead, the child is taught to use the language to make
requests and communicate with other people.
• Children and adults with autism will be able to learn different behaviours and
practice them in their routine. Moreover, children will be able to learn sign
language and picture communication as a part of speech therapy. The aim of
using both Applied Behaviour Analysis ABA and speech therapy is to enable a child
or an adult with autism to communicate with each other, with their parents and
doctors on their own.
