Wendell Foster

At Wendell Foster, we understand how important it is to recognize signs that your child may need speech therapy. If your child is diagnosed with autism, speech therapy is almost always recommended. Speech therapy can help improve communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, understanding body language, and more. Early intervention is key to language development, and it is important to start speech therapy as soon as possible to help your child become more independent and confident. There are certain signs to look for to determine if your child needs speech therapy, such as being very quiet, saying only a few words, or not speaking at all. If you’re unsure if your child needs speech therapy, our comprehensive guide can help you gain an understanding of the importance of speech therapy and how it can help your child.
