Early Steps

At Early Steps, we understand that it can be difficult to know whether your child needs speech therapy or not. If your child is autistic, speech therapy is usually recommended to help with social communication, such as: responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures, understanding other people’s body language, and more. Early intervention is important for language development, so it’s important to provide speech therapy as soon as possible for children with any delays. Signs that your child may need speech therapy include difficulty speaking, being very quiet, saying only a few words, or not speaking at all. For more information, check out our comprehensive guide to speech therapy.
