West Tennessee Special Technology Access Resources Center

At West Tennessee Special Technology Access Resources Center, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is diagnosed with autism, speech therapy is almost always recommended, as many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if your child talks a lot, they might need help with communication skills like responding to questions, changing conversation topics, using gestures, and understanding other people’s body language. Early intervention is important to teach language and communication, and your child can learn effective ways to communicate so that they can become more independent and confident. It may be obvious if your child is struggling with speaking – they are very quiet, say only a few words, or don’t speak at all. To learn more, check out our comprehensive guide to speech therapy and contact our team at West Tennessee Special Technology Access Resources Center if you have any questions.
