Central Aroostook Association

At Central Aroostook Association, we understand the importance of recognizing when your child needs speech therapy. If your child is on the autism spectrum, it is almost always recommended for them, even if they are very verbal. Speech therapy can help with responding to questions, starting conversations, changing topics, understanding body language, and more. It is a critical part of early intervention, so it’s vital to teach language and communication as soon as possible. If you’re unsure if your child would benefit from speech therapy, look out for signs like lack of verbal communication, only saying a few words, or not speaking at all. Our guide to speech therapy can help you make the best decision for your child.

At Central Aroostook Association, we understand that communication is essential for a healthy and successful life. That’s why our speech therapists provide comprehensive services to help your child learn to communicate effectively.
