Barrett Family Wellness Center

At Barrett Family Wellness Center, we understand that it can be difficult to determine if your child needs speech therapy. Speech therapy is a critical component of early intervention for children with autism, as well as those with delays in language development. If your child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they might still need to work on communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing topics, using gestures and understanding body language. Speech therapy can help your child learn effective ways to communicate, and grow into a more independent and confident individual. If you think your child may be struggling with speaking, our complete guide to speech therapy can provide you with the information you need. Contact us to find out more about how we can help you and your child.
