Speech & Hearing Associates – Metuchen

Speech & Hearing Associates – Metuchen is here to help you determine if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is diagnosed with autism, speech therapy is almost always recommended since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. And even if your child is very verbal, they may need to work on communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures like pointing, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention for autistic children and is usually the starting place for recently diagnosed kids. At Speech & Hearing Associates – Metuchen, we understand the importance of language development and are here to help your child learn effective ways to communicate, so they can grow into more independent and confident individuals. Our guide can help you understand everything you need to know about speech therapy and help you determine if your child needs it.
