KIDSource | Sheridan

At KIDSource Sheridan, we understand how important it is to recognize if your child needs 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, using gestures like pointing, and 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. Here at KIDSource Sheridan, we provide a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy so you can make the best decision for your child’s needs. With our help, your child will learn effective ways to communicate, helping them grow into more independent and confident individuals.

At KIDSource Sheridan, our speech therapists can help your child learn to effectively communicate with others through a variety of methods. We specialize in providing nonverbal skills, such as gestures and signs; forming speech more clearly; expressing thoughts and feelings; understanding and responding to questions; recognizing facial expressions and body language; and addressing stuttering, feeding, and swallowing issues. Our team of experienced speech therapists will work with your child to help them reach their communication goals.
