SF Speech for Kids!

SF Speech for Kids! can help you determine if your child needs speech therapy by providing a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about the topic. 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 may need to work on communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, understanding other people’s body language and more. 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. SF Speech for Kids! can help you determine if your child needs speech therapy and provide guidance on how to get started.

At SF Speech for Kids!, our goal is to provide your child with the tools to communicate effectively with others in any environment. Our speech therapists are dedicated to helping children develop nonverbal skills, such as signs or gestures, form speech in a clearer way, communicate thoughts and feelings, understand and respond to questions, discern facial expressions and corresponding emotions, notice and understand body language, and improve feeding and swallowing. Additionally, we provide Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) resources to help your child reach their full potential.
