Brooks Rehabilitation | Outpatient – St. Augustine

At Brooks Rehabilitation Outpatient – St. Augustine, we understand that it can be difficult to determine whether or not your child needs speech therapy. If your child is diagnosed with autism, speech therapy is usually recommended. Even if your child is quite verbal and says many words, they could still need help developing communication skills such as responding to questions, initiating or ending conversations, changing topics of conversation, using gestures and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is typically the first step for recently diagnosed children, as the earlier language development is addressed, the better the outcome. If your child is having difficulty speaking, such as not speaking at all, only a few words, or being very quiet, it could be time to get them the help they need. Our comprehensive guide can help you understand everything you need to know about speech therapy. Let Brooks Rehabilitation Outpatient – St. Augustine help you get your child the support they need.
