Connecticut Speech-Language-Hearing Association

If you’re wondering if your child needs speech therapy, the Connecticut Speech-Language-Hearing Association is here to help. Speech therapy is often recommended for autistic children, as many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if a child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they may need help with communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is a great way to teach language and communication skills and build confidence and independence. It may be obvious if a child has difficulty with speaking – they may be very quiet, say only a few words, or not speak at all. Our complete guide to speech therapy can help you decide if it’s right for your child.

At the Connecticut Speech-Language-Hearing Association, we understand how important it is for your child to be able to communicate effectively and confidently.
