Isa Marrs Speech Language Pathology, PC | Hopewell Junction

At Isa Marrs Speech Language Pathology, PC of Hopewell Junction, we understand that it can be difficult to know whether or not your child needs speech therapy. If your child is autistic, speech therapy is almost always recommended due to the challenges autistic individuals often have with social communication. Even if your child is very verbal, they may need help with communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing topics, using gestures, and understanding body language. Speech therapy is often the first step in early intervention for autistic children and is important to teach language and communication skills as early as possible. If your child is struggling with speaking, such as being very quiet, saying only a few words, or not speaking at all, it may be time to consider speech therapy. At Isa Marrs Speech Language Pathology, PC, we provide a complete guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy.
