Bench Mark Physical | Clarksville

At Bench Mark Physical in Clarksville, we understand that it can be difficult to determine if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is autistic, speech therapy is usually recommended, even if they are already very verbal. Speech therapy can help teach communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, and understanding body language. It is a critical part of early intervention and should be done as early as possible. If your child is very quiet, only says a few words, or doesn’t speak at all, it could be a sign that they need speech therapy. Our complete guide to speech therapy has everything you need to know about this important topic.
