At ACES | Austin, we understand that it can be difficult to determine if your child needs speech therapy. Our experts recommend speech therapy for autistic children, as many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if your child is verbal and says a lot of words, they could still benefit from speech therapy as it focuses on communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversation, changing conversation topics, using gestures, and understanding other people’s body language. Early intervention for autistic children is highly recommended to maximize their language development, as there is a critical period in the brain for language development. Speech therapy will help your child learn effective ways to communicate and grow into a more independent and confident individual. If your child is very quiet, only says a few words, or doesn’t speak at all, it is likely they need speech therapy. To help you understand more, ACES | Austin has created a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy.
