Speech Source Therapy | Los Angeles

At Speech Source Therapy in Los Angeles, we understand that you may be unsure 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. Even if your child is very verbal, they may need to work on communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, or understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is essential for early intervention for autistic children and is usually the first step for recently diagnosed kids. As the brain has a critical period for language development, it is essential to teach language and communication skills as early as possible, especially if there are any delays in that area. Through speech therapy, your child can learn effective ways to communicate which will help them grow into more independent and confident individuals. As a parent, it might be obvious when your child is struggling with speaking —if they are very quiet, say only a few words, or don’t speak at all. If you need more information about speech therapy, Speech Source Therapy in Los Angeles is here for you.
