The Macomb-Oakland Regional Center (MORC)- Human Services of Wayne County

At The Macomb-Oakland Regional Center (MORC) Human Services of Wayne County, we understand how important it is to recognize whether your child needs speech therapy. If your child is autistic or has any delays in language development, speech therapy is almost always recommended. Speech therapy helps children develop skills in communication, such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, and understanding other people’s body language. Our team of experts can provide you with the information you need to decide if speech therapy is the best option for your child and guide you through the process of getting them the help they need.
