Bench Mark Physical | Murfreesboro – West

At Bench Mark Physical | Murfreesboro – West, we understand that it can be difficult to tell if your child needs speech therapy. If your child has been diagnosed with autism, speech therapy is almost always recommended since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if a child is very verbal, they may still need to work on communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is an important focus in early intervention for autistic children and is usually the starting place for recently diagnosed kids. If you’re not sure if your child needs speech therapy, our guide to everything you need to know can help you make an informed decision.
