KinderCare | Ponte Vedra

At KinderCare in Ponte Vedra, we understand that it can be difficult to know whether or not your child needs speech therapy. While it is almost always recommended for autistic children, any child can benefit from speech therapy. Speech therapy can help children develop communication skills such as responding to questions, starting and ending conversations, changing conversation topics, and understanding body language. It is also important to teach language and communication skills early on to ensure proper development. If your child is very quiet, says only a few words, or doesn’t speak at all, it might be time to consider speech therapy. To help you better understand speech therapy and the benefits it can provide for your child, take a look at our comprehensive guide.

At KinderCare | Ponte Vedra, our speech therapists focus on helping children communicate effectively in all environments. We understand the importance of nonverbal skills, such as signs and gestures, developing speech in a clearer way, and understanding facial expressions and their corresponding emotions. Our team also provides assistance in understanding and responding to questions, discerning body language, feeding and swallowing, and managing stuttering. With the help of our experienced speech therapists, your child can gain the confidence they need to express themselves in any environment.
