🌟 Autism Awareness series at Smilestones 🌟
At Smilestones would like to take this opportunity to address some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) we've received from many of our Khmer parents. We believe that building awareness is essential to creating a more informed and inclusive community.
If you've ever had similar questions or if you're curious about understanding autism, we’re here to help! Whether you're a parent, educator, or someone looking for more knowledge, we are here to help.

If this resonates with you, feel free to send us a message or visit us at our centre. We are always happy to share information and offer guidance. Let’s work together to foster greater understanding and awareness.

Presenting Question #11:
“Will my child who has autism become normal like other children? How long will it take?”

Worried about your child’s speech or feeding habits?
Here are some common concerns we hear from parents:

🔹 “My child isn’t speaking clearly.”
🔹 “They know many words but don’t form proper sentences.”
🔹 “My child is a very picky eater – only eats the same few foods!”

If this sounds familiar, and traditional speech therapy hasn’t helped much, you’re not alone.

At Smilestones, we use a specialized approach called Oral Placement Therapy (OPT) — a technique that supports both speech development and feeding skills.

✅ Builds jaw and mouth strength
✅ Improves speech clarity and sentence length
✅ Helps children try and accept new foods

OPT uses structured tools and exercises that give extra sensory input to the muscles used for talking and eating. Progress is step-by-step, based on your child’s readiness.

📍 Therapy is led by trained Speech and Language Therapists

At Smilestones we believe communication is a right, not a privilege.

That’s why we proudly use AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) as part of our therapy approach when required. Because for us it’s not just about teaching a child to speak — it’s about helping them express, connect, and thrive.

So many children have thoughts, feelings, and ideas waiting to be heard. Just because they cannot speak doesn't mean they should remain silent. 💬✨

Every child is unique and so is their path to communication. Whether through speech, signs, visuals, or AAC tools, we tailor our approach to what each child needs and can handle. Our goal? To truly make a difference in how they communicate and improve the quality of their life.

Our therapists are trained in AAC and committed to finding the best fit for your child. We know how powerful these tools can be, especially for nonverbal children and their families.

And NO — using AAC does not stop a child from learning to speak. In fact, research shows that access to AAC can support and even encourage speech development. The earlier we introduce it, the more we boost a child’s confidence, connection, and ability to build language.

If you’re curious about how AAC could help your child, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
