NYS Early Intervention Program | Oswego County Health Department

At the NYS Early Intervention Program, Oswego County Health Department, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. We’re here to help! 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. It might be obvious when a child struggles with speaking – they are very quiet, say only a few words, or don’t speak at all. To help you know if your child needs speech therapy, we’ve created an extensive guide to everything you need to know. Visit the NYS Early Intervention Program Oswego County Health Department today to learn more and find the resources you need.
