At Autism F.I.R.S.T., we understand how important it is to identify if your child needs speech therapy. Speech therapy is often recommended for autistic children as many have difficulty with social communication. To determine if your child needs speech therapy, look out for signs like difficulty responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures like pointing, and understanding other people’s body language. Early intervention for autistic children is key, so if you suspect your child might need help with speech, it’s important to get them help as soon as possible. Our complete guide to speech therapy can help you make an informed decision about how to best support your child. Learn more about speech therapy and how Autism F.I.R.S.T. can help today!
