Autism & ADHD Communication Support

Every child deserves to be heard and understood — and children with Autism or ADHD often experience the world, and communicate, in unique ways. They may find it challenging to use language, interpret social cues, stay focused in conversations, or regulate their emotions during interactions.

Early support can make a meaningful difference in helping children connect with others, express their needs, and participate more confidently in everyday life. At May’s Speech Therapy, we celebrate each child’s strengths and work alongside families to build communication skills in a way that is engaging, respectful, and tailored to their individual needs.

How We Support Children with Autism & ADHD

We take a neurodiversity-affirming, strengths-based approach that values your child’s unique way of thinking, learning, and communicating. Therapy is play-based, flexible, and focused on real-life situations that matter most to your child and your family.

Our therapy may include:

• Supporting your child to use words, gestures, or AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication)
• Developing social communication skills like turn-taking, joint attention, and understanding others
• Helping with emotional regulation and functional communication during play and daily routines
• Using visuals, routines, and sensory supports to create a calm and predictable environment
• Working closely with families, educators, and other professionals for a consistent support plan

We understand that every family’s journey is different, and we’re here to walk alongside you with warmth, care, and professional expertise.
