Speech and Language Therapy ek specialized intervention hai jo autism spectrum disorder (ASD) ke saath rehne wale bachchon ko communication aur language skills develop karne me madad karti hai. Is therapy ka main goal hota hai bachchon ko apni needs, thoughts aur emotions ko effectively express karna sikhana—chahe woh bolkar ho, gestures ke through ho, ya alternative communication systems ka use karke.
Har bachcha alag hota hai, isliye therapy ko bachche ke communication level, strengths aur challenges ke hisaab se customize kiya jata hai.
