🧠💬 Did You Know?
When ABA therapy and speech therapy are used together, they can significantly enhance a child’s communication skills—especially for children with autism.

ABA helps build the motivation to communicate and reinforces functional language, while speech therapy focuses on how language is formed, understood, and used.

Together, they create a powerful, collaborative approach to supporting communication and independence! 💙
