No. While delayed speech is often one of the early signs of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), a speech delay on its own does not mean a child is autistic. Many children have isolated expressive language delays without any of the social communication differences or repetitive behaviors associated with autism. Our comprehensive assessments help clarify exactly what is causing the delay. 

Yes. If your child is under the age of 7 and presents with a developmental delay (including a severe speech and language delay), they may be eligible for early intervention funding through the NDIS early childhood approach (ECEI). Our team is highly experienced in conducting the functional assessments required to help Canterbury families secure and utilize this funding. 

While screen time doesn't physically "cause" a speech disorder, excessive screen time can displace the vital face-to-face interaction and play that toddlers need to develop language skills. Our therapists can work with you to establish healthy communication routines at home that encourage interaction over passive watching.
