Seven Bridges Therapy | San Mateo

At Seven Bridges Therapy in San Mateo, we understand how important it is to detect whether or not your child needs speech therapy. If your child is autistic, speech therapy is almost always recommended as many with autism have difficulty with communication. Even if your child is highly verbal, they may still need to work on communication skills such as responding to questions, changing conversation topics, using gestures, and understanding body language. Speech therapy is a critical part of early intervention for autistic children and should be started as soon as possible to maximize the potential for language development. If your child is very quiet, only says a few words, or doesn’t speak at all, it may be time to consider speech therapy.
