Could I Get Some Advice On What I’m Looking For When It Comes To Choosing The Right Speech Therapist For ASD And ADHD Please?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My daughter was born 28 weeks prem. She was diagnosed with ADHD and ASD in November 2023. She’s 5 years old and does present with poor executive functioning skills and has been doing OT for the past 2 years but now we need to start Speech Therapy to assist with her expressive language. Any advice on what sort of speech therapist with specific skills that they have done would help so much! Does DIR floor time and Ayes Sensory Integration assist in helping a kiddie with ASD. Thanks so much 😊

Was your child a micro preemie? Did they have anything like a Grade III brain bleed? The downside is you generally get stuck with whatever OT they have or s, l, p, but what you can try and do is stack the deck by getting the school district to agree that your ot and slp may need to have additional education and certification, ask like your ignorant (after you research it) see what happens.

Hi, question Ms. ErinDriemeyer

Would you recommend one therapy at a time or all in once or half?
