How our autism program works

When you extend speech therapy learning and practice into everyday life, you'll make faster progress. We built our client portal to make it easy to do just that.

THE PROGRAM INCLUDES:

: Your speech therapist will choose from a variety of standardized or norm-referenced tests for your evaluation. They may assess how you communicate verbally and nonverbally, also focusing on social pragmatics and prosody. The evaluation results will be used to develop a personalized care plan, which typically includes 2 sessions per week.
: Review and reinforce the communication strategies that you're learning, such as nonverbal communication and gestures, visual cues, and prosody.
: Our experts demonstrate techniques for meaningful communication, such as neurodiversity-affirming practices, social pragmatic awareness, and using low-tech and high-tech AAC devices.
: Your speech therapist will assign easy ways to practice communication strategies during your everyday routines.
: Get tips, support, and answers to questions from your speech therapist between sessions.

Expressable's approach to autism

Our speech therapists are trained in online therapy techniques and follow a research-based approach

Outcomes-focused

We typically recommend a frequency of 2 sessions per week for supporting people with autism, although this may vary depending on your goals. Speech therapy goals should reflect your meaningful priorities. Also, the more often you practice, the faster you'll make progress. That's why after each session, your speech therapist will give you easy activities to do at home. You'll find them in your portal.

Individualized

We believe autism is a difference, not a disorder. We support autistic individuals by accepting their differences, focusing on their strengths, and helping them build new skills. We meet you where you are, using your interests and motivations to help you communicate with others in a way that's authentic to who you are.

Functional

Whether at home with family, out with friends, or at work with colleagues--for connection to be meaningful, communication needs to be effective. You'll learn practical strategies to boost your confidence and enhance the quality of your day-to-day communication.
