West Texas Rehabilitation Center | Abilene

At West Texas Rehabilitation Center in Abilene, we understand that it can be difficult to determine if your child needs speech therapy. Speech therapy is often recommended for children with autism since they may have difficulty with social communication. If your child is having difficulty understanding other people’s body language, starting or ending conversations, or changing conversation topics, they may benefit from speech therapy. Early intervention is important because there is a short window of time for language development. Speech therapy can help your child grow into a more independent and confident individual. If you notice that your child is not speaking or is very quiet, it may be a sign that they need speech therapy. To learn more, be sure to check out our guide to speech therapy.
