Cape Fear Valley Rehabilitation Center

At the Cape Fear Valley Rehabilitation Center, we understand how important it is to assess if your child might need speech therapy. If your child is autistic, speech therapy is almost always recommended since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if your child is very verbal, they might need to work on communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversation, changing conversation topics, and understanding other people’s body language. Early intervention for autistic children is a big focus, as there is a critical period in the brain for language development. Speech therapy is a great starting place for recently diagnosed kids and can help them become more independent and confident individuals. If you are worried that your child might need speech therapy, our team of experts can help guide you through the process and answer any questions you have.
