At Easterseals Northern California, Clearlake Early Learning Center, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. It is typically recommended for autistic children as many struggle with social communication. If your child is very verbal but has difficulty with communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversation, changing conversation topics, or understanding body language, speech therapy could be beneficial. Early intervention for autistic children is often focused on speech therapy as there is a critical period for language development and it’s important to teach these skills as early as possible. If you notice that your child is struggling with speaking or is very quiet, says few words, or doesn’t speak at all, our guide to speech therapy will provide all the information you need to understand the process and determine if speech therapy is right for your child.
