At Bench Mark Physical in Kingsport, we understand that it can be hard to know whether or not your child needs speech therapy. If your child has autism, speech therapy is almost always recommended as many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if your child is very verbal, they may need to work on communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversation, changing conversation topics, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is the starting place for recently diagnosed autistic children and is critical for language development.
