Family First Therapy

At Family First Therapy, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is autistic, speech therapy is almost always recommended as many autistic individuals have difficulty with communication. Even if a child is very verbal, they may need to work on communication skills such as responding to questions, changing topics, and understanding body language. Speech therapy is a critical component of early intervention for autistic children and can help them to become more confident and independent. If your child is very quiet, says only a few words, or doesn’t speak at all, they may need speech therapy. Family First Therapy is here to guide you through everything you need to know about speech therapy.

At Family First Therapy, we are dedicated to helping your child communicate effectively and confidently. Our speech therapists can assist with a variety of communication-related needs such as nonverbal skills, forming speech in a clearer way, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions and their corresponding emotions, noticing and understanding body language, and feeding and swallowing. We also specialize in Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) to help your child express themselves in all environments. Let us help your family with speech therapy services today.
