At Janelle Figueroa, M.A, CCC/SLP, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is on the autism spectrum, speech therapy is almost always recommended since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Speech therapy can also help children with language delays, as well as those who are very verbal but need help with communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing topics, and understanding body language. Early intervention is key, as there is a critical period in the brain for language development. Through speech therapy, your child will learn effective ways to communicate, helping them become more independent and confident. If your child is struggling with speaking, or if you’re just not sure, our guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy can help. Visit Janelle Figueroa, M.A, CCC/SLP today to learn more.
