At Kinetic Kids, Inc. (Partner Facility | Alamo Heights Gymnastics Academy), we understand that knowing when your child needs speech therapy can be a difficult decision. Speech therapy is almost always recommended for autistic children, as many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. If a child is very verbal but needs help with communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, or understanding other people’s body language, speech therapy can help. Early intervention is key for autistic children, as there is a critical period in the brain for language development, and speech therapy is usually the starting place for recently diagnosed kids. If you think your child might need speech therapy, our guide will provide you with everything you need to know.

At Kinetic Kids, Inc. (Partner Facility | Alamo Heights Gymnastics Academy), we understand how important it is for your child to communicate effectively with others. Our speech therapy can help your child in a variety of ways, such as developing nonverbal skills, forming speech in a clearer way, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions and corresponding emotions, noticing and understanding body language, feeding and swallowing, and more. Through our experienced speech therapy team, we strive to help your child make meaningful connections and gain the confidence to express themselves.
