Stacey Landberg, MS, CCC-SLP

At Stacey Landberg, MS, CCC-SLP, we understand that it can be difficult to determine whether your child needs speech therapy. If your child is autistic, speech therapy is almost always recommended as many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if your child is very verbal and can say a lot of words, they might still need to work on communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention for autistic children, and it is important to start teaching language and communication skills as early as possible to maximize language development. If your child struggles with speaking, they may be very quiet, say only a few words, or not speak at all. To help you determine if your child needs speech therapy, Stacey Landberg, MS, CCC-SLP has created a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy.
