At Achievements Watervliet, we understand that it may be difficult to determine if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is autistic, speech therapy is almost always recommended to help them with social communication skills. Even if your child is very verbal, they may need to work on communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, and understanding body language. Speech therapy is a key part of early intervention for autistic children and is usually the starting point for recently diagnosed kids. Our guide provides a comprehensive overview of what you need to know about speech therapy for your child. Reach out to the team at Achievements Watervliet for more information or to discuss your child’s needs.

At Achievements in Watervliet, we understand how important it is for your child to be able to communicate effectively with others. Our speech therapists are committed to helping your child build the skills they need to do this. We can help your child develop nonverbal skills, form speech in a clearer way, communicate thoughts and feelings more clearly, understand and respond to questions, discern facial expressions and their corresponding emotions, notice and understand body language, and learn how to feed and swallow without difficulty. Additionally, we can help them manage stuttering and use Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), if necessary. At Achievements, we are dedicated to helping your child succeed in all environments.
