Autism Learning Partners | Merced

At Autism Learning Partners in Merced, we understand how important it is to recognize whether or not your child needs speech therapy. Many people with autism have difficulty with social communication and even if a child is very verbal, they may still need to work on communication skills. Speech therapy is a key focus in early intervention for autistic children and can help teach language and communication skills which can lead to more independent and confident individuals. If your child is very quiet, says few words, or doesn’t speak at all, it may be time to consider speech therapy. To help you make the right decision, we put together a complete guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy and autism. Visit our website to learn more!
