Autism Therapy Services Singapore

 

At Total Communication, we believe in creating pathways for every child on the autism spectrum to communicate, learn, and connect. If you are looking for professional, evidence-based autism therapy services in Singapore, you’ll find here a caring, expert, and holistic support system designed to help your child flourish.

What Makes Our Autism Therapy Services Stand Out

• Evidence-based, personalised plans: We combine nearly two decades of experience with research-backed techniques so each therapy plan is carefully crafted to the individual—evaluating communication skills, social thinking, behaviour, and developmental milestones.
  
  
• Multidisciplinary approach: Our services are not limited to one mode of therapy. Alongside speech and language therapy, we offer educational therapy, developmental therapy, occupational therapy, bilingual therapy, and teletherapy. This ensures that your child’s varied needs are addressed in an integrated way.
  
  
• Holistic family & school involvement: We believe that changes are more sustainable when families, therapists, and schools collaborate. Parents are coached in how to support progress at home, and we work with teachers where relevant to ensure consistency.
  
  
• Early intervention & developmental support: We understand how crucial early diagnosis and therapy are for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Our early intervention programmes aim to start support as soon as possible, helping children with developmental delays, social interaction challenges, communication delays, rigid or repetitive behaviours, selective mutism, and more.

Who We Support & When to Reach Out

Autism is a spectrum—no two children with ASD are the same. Some are diagnosed early, others later. Signs may include delayed speech, difficulty making eye contact, rigid routines, limited social interaction, or repetitive behaviours. If you or your child’s teacher or caregiver notices these, reaching out for assessment and support early can make a big difference.

At Total Communication, we embrace children at every age—from toddlers to teens—and provide ongoing support through school readiness, intervention, and follow-ups, growing the plan as your child develops.

Our Approach: Compassion, Evidence & Growth

• Therapists you can trust: Our team is highly qualified and deeply experienced. We apply evidence-based practices and keep learning the latest in ASD research.
  
  
• Engagement and fun: Therapy doesn’t have to be rigid. We incorporate play skills, communication through games, visual supports, and interactive methods that make learning meaningful and enjoyable.
• Individualised Goal Setting: Each child’s plan includes measurable milestones, regularly reviewed, so parents can see progress and adjust goals. Transparency and collaboration are central.

Speech Therapy in Singapore: Unlocking Every Child’s Voice

 

At Total Communication, we believe that every child has a voice worth hearing—and speech therapy in Singapore can help make that voice clear, confident, and empowered. For nearly two decades, our evidence-based approaches, highly qualified therapists, and nurturing environment have made us one of the leading centres for speech and language therapy across Singapore.

What is Speech Therapy?

Speech therapy (or speech-language therapy) is a specialised form of therapeutic intervention designed to help individuals — particularly children — who face difficulties in speaking, understanding language, fluency, voice, or communication in general. This may include articulation disorders, stuttering (stammering), voice disorders, or even swallowing difficulties.

We also address literacy difficulties, social thinking, and broader communication disorders — recognising that speech isn’t just about producing sounds, but about making connections and functioning confidently in everyday life.

Why Choose Speech Therapy at Total Communication?

• Experience & Expertise
  With close to 20 years of service, our team has partnered with more than 20 local and international schools around Singapore, helping thousands of children grow in communication skills.
• Holistic & Individualised Plans
  We don’t offer “one size fits all”. Each child gets a customised plan that considers their unique challenges, strengths, home and school settings, plus any bilingual language needs.
• Evidence-Based Methods
  From stuttering therapy to fluency disorders, voice issues, and communication disorders, we use approaches backed by clinical research. Interventions are tailored to be engaging, meaningful, and fun for children.
• Diverse Support Modes
  Whether in-clinic, teletherapy, or home-based, we provide flexible options that suit families’ schedules and needs. Our bilingual therapy is particularly valuable in Singapore’s multicultural, multilingual landscape.

Signs That Your Child May Benefit from Speech Therapy

It can be tough to know when to reach out for help. Here are some red flags:

• Delay in speech milestones (e.g., by age 2, limited vocabulary or few two-word phrases)
• Difficulty pronouncing sounds clearly
• Frequent stuttering or trouble with fluency
• Struggles understanding or following directions
• Issues with social communication (e.g. difficulty turn-taking, non-verbal cues)
• Challenges with literacy (reading, writing) related to language skills Early intervention is crucial. The earlier speech therapy begins, the better the outcomes for confidence, learning, and social participation.

Duration varies depending on the child’s needs. Some challenges may need several months; others may require longer. What matters is consistency and supporting practice between therapy sessions.

Unlocking Potential: Your Journey to Better Communication Starts Here

Effective communication is the cornerstone of human connection. It's how we express our thoughts, share our feelings, and connect with the world around us. But what happens when that connection is challenged? At Total Communication, we believe that everyone deserves the ability to communicate with confidence and clarity. As a leading speech pathologist in Singapore, we're dedicated to helping individuals of all ages overcome communication difficulties and unlock their full potential.

Understanding the Role of a Speech Pathologist

A speech-language pathologist (SLP) is a highly trained allied health professional who diagnoses and treats a wide range of communication and swallowing disorders. It's a common misconception that SLPs only work with people who stutter or have trouble pronouncing words. In reality, our expertise extends to a much broader spectrum of challenges, from childhood developmental delays to communication issues resulting from a stroke or other neurological conditions.

In Singapore, all practicing SLPs must be registered with the Allied Health Professions Council (AHPC), ensuring that you're receiving care from a qualified and regulated professional. Our team is committed to providing evidence-based, personalized therapy that addresses your specific needs. We don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach; instead, we create a tailored plan designed to help you or your loved one achieve meaningful, long-lasting progress.

Our Comprehensive Range of Services

Whether you're a parent concerned about your child's language development or an adult looking to regain communication skills after an injury, Total Communication offers a wide array of services to support you. We provide:

• Articulation and Phonological Therapy: This helps individuals who have difficulty producing specific speech sounds. We use engaging and fun activities to improve speech clarity and make communication easier to understand.
• Language Therapy: This goes beyond just words. We work on receptive language (understanding what others say) and expressive language (how we use words to communicate). This is crucial for children with developmental language delays, autism spectrum disorder, or learning disabilities.
• Stuttering and Fluency Therapy: We provide a supportive environment for individuals who stutter, helping them develop strategies to speak more fluently and with greater confidence. Our goal is to empower you to communicate without fear or anxiety.
• Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC): For individuals with severe communication impairments, we explore and implement AAC systems—from picture exchange systems to sophisticated speech-generating devices—to provide a reliable means of communication.
• Voice Therapy: We help those with voice disorders, such as hoarseness or vocal nodules, to improve their vocal quality and use their voice in a healthy, sustainable way.
• Swallowing and Feeding Therapy: Known as dysphagia management, this is a vital part of our work. We assist individuals who have difficulties with chewing or swallowing, helping them to eat and drink safely. This is often a concern for infants with feeding difficulties or adults recovering from a stroke.

Why Choose Total Communication?

Choosing a Speech Pathologist in Singapore is a deeply personal decision. Here at Total Communication, we pride ourselves on our holistic and compassionate approach. We believe in working closely with not just the individual but also with their family, caregivers, and educators. This collaborative model ensures that the skills learned in therapy are carried over into everyday life, maximizing progress and reinforcing positive habits. We offer a variety of therapy settings, including in-clinic sessions, home-based therapy, and teletherapy, to fit your unique lifestyle and needs.

The Power of Early Intervention

For children, early intervention is key. If you have concerns about your child's speech and language development, don't wait. The earlier a child begins therapy, the more likely they are to make significant and lasting improvements. Common signs to look out for include:

• Not babbling by 12 months.
• Not saying any words by 18 months.
• Difficulty following simple instructions.
• Trouble being understood by family members by age 3.
• Frustration when trying to communicate.

If any of these signs sound familiar, a professional evaluation by a qualified speech pathologist can provide the answers and support you need. We'll work with you to create a fun, engaging, and effective plan to help your child thrive.
