At Carr Shelly, we understand that it can be difficult to determine if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is autistic, speech therapy is generally recommended. It can help them learn communication skills such as responding to questions, starting and ending conversations, changing conversation topics, and understanding body language. Early intervention is key, so it is important to identify any delays and teach language and communication skills as soon as possible. Additionally, if your child is very quiet, says few words, or doesn’t speak at all, it may be an indication that they need speech therapy. To help you make this decision, Carr Shelly has created a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy. With our guide, you can make an informed decision about the best course of action for your child.

At Carr Shelly, we strive to help your child with their communication needs. Our experienced speech therapists can help them gain the skills necessary to better communicate with others. We can help your child with nonverbal skills, forming speech in a clearer way, expressing their thoughts and feelings, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions and body language, and more. We also help with feeding and swallowing, as well as stuttering. Our therapists use a variety of strategies, such as gestures, simple signs, verbal speech, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), to help your child become a better communicator across all environments.
