Erin Hyer

At Erin Hyer, we understand that it can be hard to tell if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is autistic, speech therapy is highly recommended as many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. However, even if your child is very verbal, they may need to work on communication skills such as responding to questions, starting conversations, using gestures, and understanding body language. Speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention and is important to teach language and communication skills as early as possible. If your child struggles with speaking, they may be very quiet, say only a few words, or not speak at all. To help you understand if your child may need speech therapy, we have created a comprehensive guide with all the information you need to know.

At Erin Hyer, we believe that speech therapy is an important part of helping your child communicate effectively with others in all environments. Our speech therapy services provide assistance in developing nonverbal skills, forming speech in a clearer way, communicating thoughts and feelings, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions and their corresponding emotions, noticing and understanding body language, and helping with feeding and swallowing. We also specialize in helping children with stuttering. Let us help your child reach their potential by providing them with the speech therapy they need!
