Atlanta Speech Pathology

At Atlanta Speech Pathology, we understand that it can be difficult to determine if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is autistic, speech therapy is almost always recommended due to the difficulty that many autistic individuals have with social communication. Even if a child is very verbal and speaks a lot of words, they might need to work on communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending a conversation, changing conversation topics, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is a big part of early intervention for autistic children and is often the best starting place for recently diagnosed kids. As there is a critical period for language development in the brain, it’s important to start teaching language and communication skills as early as possible if there are any delays with these areas. Our speech therapists can help your child learn effective ways to communicate, enabling them to grow into more independent and confident individuals. It might be obvious when a child struggles with speaking such as being very quiet, saying only a few words, or not speaking at all.
