Aveanna Healthcare | Addison

At Aveanna Healthcare | Addison, we understand how important it is to recognize when a child needs speech therapy. We offer a comprehensive guide to help you understand when your child needs speech therapy and what it entails. Speech therapy is often recommended for autistic children since many have difficulty with social communication. Even if a child is very verbal, they may need to work on communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, and understanding other people’s body language. It’s important to recognize any delays in language development and start speech therapy as soon as possible. Our guide will help you recognize the signs that your child needs speech therapy and provide the information you need to make an informed decision about your child’s care. We are here to answer any questions you have and provide the support your child needs to grow into a more independent and confident individual.
