UT Speech and Hearing Center

At UT Speech and Hearing Center, we understand the importance of speech therapy for autistic children and how it can help them develop their communication skills. If you’re wondering if your child needs speech therapy, there are some signs you can look out for. These include difficulty responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, and understanding body language. Early intervention and speech therapy are key for language development, so it’s important to seek help as soon as possible if you notice any delays. Additionally, if your child is very quiet and only says a few words or none at all, this could be a sign that they need speech therapy. To learn more, check out our complete guide to speech therapy.

At UT Speech and Hearing Center, our experienced speech therapists strive to help children improve their communication skills. We can help children develop nonverbal skills such as signs or gestures, form speech in a clearer way, communicate thoughts and feelings clearly, understand and respond to questions, discern facial expressions and their corresponding emotions, recognize and interpret body language, and improve feeding and swallowing. Our speech therapists also specialize in treating stuttering. We offer comprehensive speech therapy services to help your child communicate effectively with others in all environments.
