Speech Therapy

At Helix School, we provide a diverse range of speech therapy services tailored to the unique communication needs of our students. Our approach recognizes the various ways students communicate, whether through analytic or gestalt language processing, or alternative forms such as low or high tech AAC. We focus on addressing pragmatics, articulation, conversation skills, and emotional expression, fostering confidence and empowerment in their interactions. Our individualized sessions are crafted around students' interests and needs, incorporating activities like social videos, role play, or play for younger students. Utilizing evidence-based programs like Social Optics and Peers, developed in collaboration with autistic individuals, we enhance social engagement and communication skills. With a neurodiverse affirming approach, our speech therapists meet students where they are, collaborating closely with clinical and classroom teams to develop personalized strategies that honor each student's goals and strengths.
