The newly expanded treatment services aim to help individuals with Autism communicate in more functional ways by improving their verbal, nonverbal, and social communication skills.
As a consequence of the current pandemic, many children and adults with Autism are unable to receive crucial language and speech therapy. High Desert Speech’s quality teletherapy and tele-evaluation services allow clients to continue progressing towards their speech and language goals from the comfort of their home.
The center’s virtual programs are just as effective as in-person therapy when treating clients with Autism or other speech and language disorders.
High Desert Speech’s team of highly qualified speech-language pathologists offer customized therapy plans designed to meet each client’s needs. The center’s individual programs are currently offered in English, Spanish, and Thai.
In addition to services such as lip reading, AAC, and dialect instruction, High Desert Speech offers myofunctional therapy that can be used to correct the improper function of the tongue and facial muscles.
The family-centered company also offers training to educate parents and caregivers on how to implement and reinforce therapeutic strategies at home.
Clients can begin their journey with High Desert Speech with a 30-minute consultation over the phone. The center offers voice, speech and language, social cognitive, fluency, and alternative assessments.
Unlike many private practices, the company accepts most major health insurance plans.
For over 15 years, High Desert Speech and Language Center has been helping to remove language barriers for children and adults with autism, brain injuries, hearing loss, Cerebral Palsy, and other communication disorders.
A spokesperson for the company said: “Without communication, we are trapped within ourselves, not able to create, grow and interact. High Desert Speech and Language Center’s goal is to unlock those that have been held captive by communication disorders and deficits.”
