Achieve Center | Kennewick

At Achieve Center in Kennewick, we understand the importance of speech therapy for autistic children. If you’re wondering if your child needs speech therapy, you should know that it is almost always recommended for autistic children to work on communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversation, changing conversation topics, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention for autistic children and is usually the starting place for recently diagnosed kids. If your child struggles with speaking, such as being very quiet, saying only a few words, or not speaking at all, then speech therapy can help them learn effective ways to communicate and grow into more independent and confident individuals. To learn more about speech therapy, check out our comprehensive guide.
