If you are wondering if your child needs speech therapy, Banner Health’s Banner Rehabilitation Hospital West in Peoria can help. Speech therapy is almost always recommended for autistic children since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Through speech therapy, your child can learn effective ways to communicate which will help them grow into more independent and confident individuals. Some of the skills they may work on include responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures like pointing, and understanding other people’s body language. It might be obvious when a child struggles with speaking – they are very quiet, say only a few words, or don’t speak at all.
