Johns Hopkins All Children's Outpatient Care | Tampa

At Johns Hopkins All Children’s Outpatient Care | Tampa, we understand how important it is to know if your child needs speech therapy. That’s why we offer a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy. Speech therapy is almost always recommended for autistic children since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if a child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they might need to work on communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversation, changing conversation topics, or understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention for autistic children and is usually the starting place for recently diagnosed kids. If you have any questions or concerns about speech therapy, we encourage you to reach out to our team of pediatric specialists to learn more. At Johns Hopkins All Children’s Outpatient Care | Tampa, we are passionate about helping your child reach their full potential.
