At Paula S. Koehler, M.S., CCC-SLP, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. Many autistic children need speech therapy to help them develop communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing topics, using gestures, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is a key component of early intervention for autistic children, and is critical for language development. If your child is very quiet, says only a few words, or doesn’t speak at all, they may need speech therapy. To help you understand more about speech therapy and how it can benefit your child, we’ve created a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know. Visit our website to access our guide and learn more about the benefits of speech therapy.
