Children with autism may struggle with social communication, including taking turns in conversation, understanding facial expressions, and knowing when it’s someone else’s turn to talk. Westside Children’s Therapy’s speech therapy in Lockport focuses on helping children use language in real-world situations. We practice greetings, eye contact, and conversation starters. We help children understand emotions and respond appropriately, which are essential skills for friendship, classroom participation, and daily routines. Therapists use engaging, age-appropriate interactive games, role-play, and structured activities. Many parents report that as their child now connects with peers more confidently, their self-esteem has improved. Contact us for details!
