Behavior Builders | Ponte Vedra Beach

At Behavior Builders in Ponte Vedra Beach, we understand how difficult it can be to determine if your child needs speech therapy. It’s important to remember that speech therapy is often recommended for autistic children, as they can have difficulty with social communication and language development. Even if your child is very verbal, they may benefit from speech therapy to learn how to respond to questions, start and end conversations, use gestures and understand body language. Early intervention is key, as there is a critical period in the brain for language development, and so it’s best to teach language and communication skills as soon as possible. If your child is struggling with speaking, such as not speaking at all or using very few words, speech therapy can help them grow into independent and confident individuals. To learn more about speech therapy, please read our complete guide for everything you need to know.
