Idaho Department of Health and Welfare | Infant Toddler Program | Payette Office

The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare’s Infant Toddler Program at the Payette Office can help you determine if your child needs speech therapy. Our comprehensive guide provides information about how to recognize if a child struggles with speaking, how speech therapy can help, and the critical period for language development. Speech therapy is almost always recommended for children with autism, as it helps them learn effective ways to communicate and grow into independent and confident individuals. Contact us today to learn more about our services and how we can help your child.

Speech Therapy also helps with nonverbal skills, forming speech, understanding questions, discerning facial expressions, noticing and understanding body language, feeding and swallowing, and even stuttering.
