The Arc Rockland | Prime Time for Kids Early Learning Center | New City

At The Arc Rockland Prime Time for Kids Early Learning Center in New City, NY, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. If your child has been diagnosed with autism, speech therapy is almost always recommended as many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if your child is verbal, they may need speech therapy to improve communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, or understanding body language. Early intervention is key when it comes to language development and teaching communication skills, so it’s important to get started as soon as possible if there are any delays in that area. If you think your child may need speech therapy, please refer to our guide for everything you need to know.
