At Citrus Memorial Hospital, we understand that it can be difficult to tell if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is diagnosed with Autism, speech therapy is almost always recommended due to the difficulty many people with Autism have with social communication. Even if your child is verbal, they may need to work on communicating more effectively, such as responding to questions, changing conversation topics, using gestures, and understanding body language. Speech therapy is an important part of early intervention for children with Autism, and it is important to start as early as possible, as there is a critical period in the brain for language development. If your child is struggling with speaking, they may be very quiet, say few words, or not speak at all.
