Center for Developing Minds

At the Center for Developing Minds, we understand that it can be difficult to know whether or not your child needs speech therapy. If your child is diagnosed with autism, speech therapy is almost always recommended to help them with social communication skills. Additionally, even if your child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they may still benefit from speech therapy. This type of therapy can help with many communication skills such as responding to questions, starting and ending conversations, changing topics, and understanding body language. Early intervention is critical to the development of language and communication skills, so it is important to seek out speech therapy as soon as possible if there are any delays in these areas. Signs that your child may be struggling with speaking can include being very quiet, saying only a few words, or not speaking at all.
