SCLARC Family Resource Center | South Gate

At SCLARC Family Resource Center in South Gate, we understand that knowing if your child needs speech therapy can be difficult. Speech therapy is an important part of early intervention for children with autism, and can help them learn essential language and communication skills. Even if your child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they may need to work on communication skills such as responding to questions, changing conversation topics, using gestures and understanding other people’s body language. To help you understand if your child needs speech therapy, we’ve put together a complete guide to everything you need to know. Visit SCLARC Family Resource Center in South Gate to learn more and find out how we can help your child reach their potential.
