Speech therapy can improve overall communication. This makes it possible for people with autism to improve their ability to form relationships and function in day-to-day life. Specific goals of speech therapy include helping the individual with autism: Articulate words well.
Speech therapy involves the treatment of speech and communication disorders, which means it's a very wide-ranging field.

• Communicate in order to develop friendships and interact with peers.
• Learn to communicate in a way that other people understand
