Sandcastle Clinical & Educational Services

At Sandcastle Clinical & Educational Services, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. It is almost always recommended for autistic children since many struggle with social communication. Even if your child is very verbal, they could still benefit from developing communication skills like responding to questions, starting and ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures, and understanding body language. Speech therapy is a big part of early intervention for autistic children, and it can be critical to teach language and communication skills as early as possible if there are any delays. Through speech therapy, your child can learn effective ways to communicate which will help them grow into more independent and confident individuals. If you notice your child is very quiet, says only a few words, or is not speaking at all, they may need speech therapy. To help you better understand speech therapy and if it’s right for your child, Sandcastle Clinical & Educational Services offer a comprehensive guide to speech therapy.
