If you've spent time on a waitlist for speech therapy, you already know the shortage is real. In some parts of the country, families wait six months or more for an initial evaluation. Researchers at Stanford and other institutions are now exploring whether AI can close that gap. The diagnostic applications are still developing. Language models aren't yet reliable for diagnosing speech disorders on their own, but fine-tuning techniques are showing enough promise that Stanford researchers described a model capable of assisting SLPs with diagnostic tasks as something that "will potentially allow them to help more children." That's the goal: not to replace the speech-language pathologist, but to make it possible for one SLP to reach more families without shortchanging any of them.  Where AI is already making a difference  For the SLPs who are currently working with your child, the most immediate change isn't happening in the therapy room. It's happening after hours. Speech therapists, like most healthcare providers, spend a significant chunk of their time on documentation, progress notes, and session planning. When those tasks take two hours, that's two hours not spent preparing something meaningful for the next child. Some clinicians have started using generative AI to move through that work faster. A 2025 Baltimore Banner report found SLPs using AI to draft session notes, generate home practice materials, and create visual supports tailored to individual children. Every clinician quoted was clear: AI doesn't replace their judgment. But it does give them time back, and...

AI tools are entering speech therapy practice, cutting admin time and expanding access. Here's what it means for your child.

How AI Is Changing Speech Therapy for Kids with Special Needs

When a child has little or no spoken speech, the gap between what they want to say and what they can express becomes a daily weight for the whole family. AAC, short for augmentative and alternative communication, is a category of tools designed to bridge that gap and to give children a real voice in their own lives. AAC doesn't replace the goal of speech. For many children, it actively supports speech development by removing communication frustration and giving them a language foundation to build on. Research consistently shows that AAC does not suppress verbal language. Children who use AAC often gain more spoken words over time, not fewer. Many families hold back out of that fear, and the evidence says they don't need to.  What counts as AAC?  AAC covers a wide range of tools, and the variety can feel overwhelming at first. On the simpler end, a laminated picture board or a PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System) binder counts as AAC. On the more sophisticated end, dedicated speech-generating devices (SGDs) produce spoken output at the press of a symbol, and some can be operated with eye gaze or head tilt for children with motor challenges. Tablet-based apps sit somewhere in the middle. Apps like Proloquo2Go and TouchChat HD turn an iPad into a communication device, often at a fraction of the cost of a dedicated SGD. For children with autism who are already drawn to tablets, these apps tend to feel natural quickly.  Finding the...

From picture boards to speech-generating devices, here's what AAC is, how it works, and how to get started for your child.

How AAC Devices Help Nonverbal Children Communicate

Who wants to jump into a cool pool on a hot summer day? Your child does! Since play is the main way a child learns, giving your child aquatic tasks designed with play in mind can be both fun and therapeutic! Aquatic therapy has been around since ancient times. The therapeutic benefits of the water are tremendous. While submerged in water we feel effects that mimic weightlessness. Exercising in the water provides relaxation and gives both proprioceptive and calming input. By adding some well-planned activities and games to your child’s summer routine, you can increase muscle strength, endurance, balance, and work on social skills. Coordination in all body areas can also improve greatly with pool games. Adding peers into the summer fun can also help our children with special needs to build confidence and lasting friendships.  · While there are a variety of products specifically marketed for aquatic therapy, you can easily duplicate them with a little creativity. Swim vests are critical if your child is not a confident swimmer. The added security of the vest is a good way for children to build up their confidence slowly. Aqua vests can be purchased at local swim stores or at websites such as aquagear.com orswimoutlet.com. · Purchasing a few differently textured pool noodles is a must. Since the skin is the largest organ in our body, providing a variety of textures is important. The more variety you can find in the shape and texture, the more different tactile (feeling) experiences...

Your child can have fun and benefit from therapeutic water play with creative activities that improve strength, balance, and social skills.

 With the rise of autism and the promotions to increase autism awareness, April is a pretty full month. However, autism shares April with occupational therapy, and the American Occupational Therapy Association, Inc. (AOTA) lovingly calls April “OT Month.”   The AOTA says an occupational therapist or OT assistant’s “holistic and customized approach to evaluations, interventions, and outcomes help a child with disabilities participate in school and in social situations, assist a person recovering from injuries to regain skills, aid an older adult to stay as independent as possible, and offer the specialized support and services to people of all ages and in all circumstances that only occupational therapy can provide.”   Many parents of special needs children know about occupational therapy. If you do not, now is the time to do research and discover how an occupational therapist might be able to help your child. Occupational therapy is often a part of a child’s IEP, and while educators, doctors, and other therapists assist your child in many daily functions, this team becomes much stronger with the assistance of an occupational therapist.   Occupational therapy helps children through developmental milestones, and they help improve a person’s ability to function independently. The activities of daily living, such as getting out of bed, brushing your teeth, eating morning cereal, walking to school, sitting quietly and still at a desk, playing at recess, helping with dinner and dishes, taking a shower, and going to bed, are all functions many people...

   Speech-Based Activities to Do with Your Kids with Apraxia at Home and in the Community       A lot of parents ask, “How can I help my child with apraxia?” In fact, it may very well be the number one question I get after “What is apraxia, anyway?” First things first, childhood apraxia of speech (CAS), is a neurologically-based motor speech disorder in which children know what they want to say, yet they have a difficult time coordinating their thoughts with the complex movements related to speech. It is a serious childhood speech disorder best remediated by frequent and intense speech therapy conducted by a trained speech-language pathologist (SLP). CAS can occur alone or with other learning disabilities, Down syndrome, or autism to name a few.    But you just want to know what you can do at home to help your child?    There are a few things you need to keep in mind as your “golden rules” in working with your child with CAS:        Have your child repeat, repeat, repeat! Movement repetitions build strong motor planning/programming/gestures. Can you say that again?     Provide lots of opportunities throughout the day to get your child to talk or vocalize–about anything.  Your child will begin to see that communication is indeed a fun part of life.       Be goofy and funny. If you are...

Parents can aid kids with apraxia with home speech activities like games, reading, nature walks, exercise, art, baking, and music.

 Music therapy and autism are buzzwords that are being heard often in the news recently. But many people still ask what is music therapy? What is autism? And what is the connection between the two? I am a board-certified music therapist who has worked for seven years with children with various developmental disabilities, including those with autism.   Music therapy is a well-established health care profession that has been around since the 1940s. Music therapy is the systematic use of music and music-based interventions (such as singing, instrument playing, or movement to music) within a therapeutic relationship to accomplish individualized goals. Music therapy goals are non-musical (such as “to increase expressive language” or “to improve gross motor skills”) and may fall under a variety of domains, including: social/emotional, motor/physical, communication, academic/cognitive, or sensory.     Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by social deficits, communication difficulties, and restricted, repetitive, and stereotyped patterns of behavior.  Children with ASD have difficulties with sensory integration and experience deficits in organizing sensory input. In a typically functioning system, the bombardment of sensory information from the environment is organized into cohesive whole pictures that he brain can process. However, in children with ASD, there is more input than the brain can sort out, leading to a state of sensory disorganization and at times, sensory overload (Berger, 2002).    What is the connection between music therapy and autism? The favorable effects of music for children with autism are due...

 The genius of Dr. Stanley Greenspan, author of the Developmental, Individual Differences, and Relationship model (DIR), laid in his ability to understand the development of the natural human mind and applying this progression to a model with techniques that actually work. Many families complete formal Floortime sessions in their home, though most of them also learn to apply the principles throughout the day. Though there are many techniques to Floortime; in this article we will highlight a few favorite ones.     Waiting   on the child seems such a simple concept, and we all like to think we are doing it, but if we objectively reflect on an interaction, we realize how many times we repeat an instruction or a question simply because we are “waiting too long” for a response. This judgment reflects more on our own patience than the actual processing speed the child needs to execute. To really wait on a child to process what he heard auditorily, then retrieve his response from the different storage files in his brain, after which he has to order his language sequentially, and then to send this formulated message to his vocal and facial musculature to be expressed, is a much longer affair for some children than for others. If we jump in too quickly with more words, more language, more expectation, we frequently add anxiety to the child’s performance, which may cause the child to retreat or give up, or simply answering a short...

 Recreation therapists plan and direct leisure activities for individuals with disabilities or illness. These leisure activities can be a myriad of things, including arts, music, sports, movement, dance, games, wellness, and exercise.   While it might seem like these activities are ones someone could do for themselves, oftentimes people either don’t make time for leisure, engage in unhealthy leisure (such as drug use), or need some education about leisure and how to implement it in their daily lives.   Recreation therapy, also called therapeutic recreation, addresses the physical, cognitive, social, and emotional needs of an individual. It is very similar to other therapies, such as physical or occupational therapy, because it has those same goals. Through activity and coaching sessions, recreation therapists can help guide a client through leisure activities that they can apply to real-life situations to achieve an overall healthy, balanced life.   The need for leisure for parents and children with special needs is great. They need the respite and skills as they age. As children with special needs grow into adulthood, they need to have good leisure skills in place to prevent boredom or depression when their school services run out. Recreation therapy skills are essential for independent living. Research suggests the people who live active lives are happier and healthier. Recreation therapy improves quality of life and productivity for individuals with special needs.    So what is recreation therapy like? As with other therapies, recreation therapy might involve a...

 According to the American Music Therapy Association, “Music Therapy is the clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program.”   Phew. That’s a mouthful. Most people realize that music has been used as a therapeutic tool since antiquity, and music therapy addresses physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of individuals. Children with ADHD can especially benefit from the calming and social aspects of music therapy.    In music therapy sessions, clients will sing, dance or move, create, or listen to music. For children with ADHD, moving to music can be a way to release energy or become more aware of his body (the latter is especially helpful for those children with ADHD who also have sensory issues). Singing and creating music is an excellent chance for self-expression, and group singing and music-making also helps improve confidence around peers with ADHD or not. Listening to music can help promote relaxation and provide a non-threatening way for a child with ADHD to calm down. All these techniques learned in music therapy sessions can also be applied to other areas of a child’s life.    One common misconception about music therapy is that a child with ADHD or other need must have musical talent or experience. The joy of music therapy is that there is no prior music experience needed, and trained music therapy professionals know how to...

Music therapy can help children with ADHD improve attention, motor control, and self-expression without needing musical talent.

 Being an Equine Specialist for the Papillion Center for FASD has changed my life in the best way. I got certified through EAGALA in 2010. However, it wasn’t until 2011 that we got a horse. In one trip we actually ended up with two horses. A Thoroughbred retired race horse that had been abused, neglected and abused again. And then there was a family Quarter-horse who was Alfa on his land. So we took the lowest of the low and the highest of the high of these horses and put them together. What an event that turned out to be! They had to learn to count on each other.   Clients came and connected to these horses instantly. They would see the scars from the abuse on the Thoroughbred, and they would connect. We use horses not only because they connect with us, but because they mirror human emotions. It’s much easier for a client to see these emotions within the horse instead of themselves, even though the horse is just picking up on what they are feeling! With the Equine Therapy program we have made movement in three sessions that we might get in 6-9 months of regular talk therapy. We relate, connect, reflect to how this plays out in their life. We can watch a horse “box” someone in and ask them if they feel trapped in their life? They build obstacles and name them things like “bullying” “communication” or “loss.”   Then they try...

Equine Therapy: Connecting Through Emotions

 The American Youth Symphony performed their first of three concerts in the Elfman Project, a series that features the work of beloved film composer Danny Elfman. The audience was a varied group of AYS members, the player’s families, UCLA alum, fellow composers, and Elfman fans.   When asked what most excited them, many concertgoers said one word — “Batman.” One audience member even shouted “yeah!” after the conductor came on stage and also following an impressive violin cadenza. Most of the audience did not understand the shouts were that person’s way of expressing gratitude and love of the music; though he was frequently shushed, these were sounds of enjoyment.    Even looking at the faces of the musicians themselves, the audience could feel that energy and passion for music. To see their dance-like sways during romantic bits change to tense stillness during slow movements and even to intense faces during musical frenzy probably had the rest of the audience shouting “yeah!” inside their own minds.    The AYS puts on free concerts, and even though you must still reserve a ticket to attend, the fact that they are open to the public at no charge is reason that you must go. The AYS features the next up-and-coming musicians, and many of the players attend prestigious schools like Indiana University and Juilliard when they finish their term. The mission of the symphony is to train young musicians for professional careers and to make music events...

The American Youth Symphony celebrated Danny Elfman's music with passionate performances, inviting audiences to free concerts.

 Lee R. Chasen’s book  Social Skills, Emotional Growth and Drama Therapy  is the resource for the clinically proven approach to enhance social and emotional growth for children on the autism spectrum.    Chasen gives a thorough introduction to pervasive developmental disorders (PDD) and how positive intervention like drama therapy can be the greatest treatment.   Drama therapy works by firing mirror neurons; through reenactment of dramatic circumstances, children are able to delve deeper into a “level of self-perception and social understanding regarding those circumstances.” Theatre visionaries such as Aristotle and Shakespeare knew of theatre’s ability to mirror real-life situations, long before neuroscience began. Drama is an art form but also inspires personal and social action.   Drama therapy itself emerged in the 1970s and includes role-playing, directing, scripting, improvisation, costume, set design, and other forms of creative expression. Drama therapy gives children with autism a chance for self-expression, positive attention from peer groups, and cognitive and emotional development.   Chasen describes drama therapy and exactly how it benefits children with autism by using his own experiences and facts from research literature. The book even describes treatment interventions and provides enough detail that therapists can use the book as a resource for starting their own drama therapy programs.    Told in a thoroughly engaging manner (as you might expect from a dramatist), readers will love Chasen’s story of turning a 2000-square-foot basement into a therapeutic center for individuals with autism. Through...

Lee R. Chasen's book promotes drama therapy as an effective tool for social and emotional development in children with autism.
