Continuum Behavioral Health | Wilmington

At Continuum Behavioral Health in Wilmington, we understand it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is displaying signs of difficulty with social communication, including responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, and understanding other people’s body language, it may be beneficial for them to seek speech therapy. Early intervention is key for autistic children, as there is a critical period for language development in the brain. Speech therapy will help your child learn effective ways to communicate, leading to greater independence and confidence. If you’re unsure if your child needs speech therapy, our complete guide to speech therapy can provide insight into the signs to look for and the benefits that come with seeking treatment.
