Sensory Speech Program – Unlocking Communication Through Sensory & Speech Integration
Evidence-Based Autism Speech & Language Therapy Combining Sensory Integration, Reflex Integration, NDBI, and Verbal Behavior Techniques to Develop Speech, Language, and Oral-Motor Skills.
Bridging Sensory Development and Communication
At Answer for Autism, our Sensory Speech Program™ is designed to develop speech and language skills in children with autism by integrating sensory integration therapy, reflex integration, NDBI models, verbal behavior training, and language modeling techniques. Speech and language development is deeply connected to sensory and oral-motor skills. By combining these evidence-based approaches, we help children — especially nonverbal or minimally verbal children — begin to vocalize, communicate, and engage meaningfully with their environment.
Why Sensory Inputs Are Essential for Speech Development
Research shows that sensory processing directly influences oral-motor control and vocalization. Children with sensory challenges may have difficulty coordinating jaw, tongue, and lip movements, which can affect speech clarity, articulation, and feeding. By addressing sensory needs alongside speech therapy, we promote:
- Improved vocalization in nonverbal children
- Enhanced oral-motor coordination and praxis
- Better attention, social engagement, and joint attention skills
- Stronger foundation for verbal communication and functional language
How Reflex Integration Supports Speech & Language
Primitive reflexes that persist beyond typical developmental timelines can impact oral-motor control, postural stability, and coordination, which are crucial for speech. Our program uses reflex integration techniques to:
- Normalize reflex patterns
- Support oral-motor strength and coordination
- Improve speech production and articulation
- Promote neurological development for communication readiness
Evidence-Based Speech & Language Approaches
Our program integrates scientifically validated methods:
- NDBI (Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions): Enhances social communication, engagement, and play-based learning.
- Verbal Behavior Training: Focuses on teaching communication using functional language and reinforcement strategies.
- Language Modeling & Joint Attention Techniques: Supports expressive and receptive language, conversation skills, and interaction.
- Oral & Verbal Praxis Training: Develops the motor planning skills needed for speech, articulation, and intelligibility.
By combining these approaches with sensory and reflex-based interventions, we create a holistic framework for communication development in children with autism.
