Speech Goals

At Speech Goals, we understand that parents may be unsure if their child needs speech therapy. If your child is autistic, speech therapy is almost always recommended since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if a child is very verbal, they may need assistance with communication skills like responding to questions, starting conversations, changing topics, using gestures, and understanding body language. Speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention for autistic children and is usually the starting place for recently diagnosed kids. If your child is struggling with speaking, they may be very quiet, say only a few words, or not speak at all. To help you understand the importance of speech therapy, we have created a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know. Visit our website to learn more.

At Speech Goals, our speech therapists strive to help your child communicate effectively while providing a supportive and encouraging atmosphere. From nonverbal skills, such as signs or gestures, to discerning facial expressions and their corresponding emotions, our speech therapists are here to help your child reach their communication goals. We also help with forming speech in a clearer way, communicating thoughts and feelings clearly, understanding and responding to questions, noticing and understanding body language, and feeding and swallowing.
