Communication Sciences and Disorders | Stillwater

At Communication Sciences and Disorders in Stillwater, we understand that it can be difficult to determine if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is diagnosed with autism, it is almost always recommended that they receive speech therapy to help them with social communication. From understanding body language to responding to questions and using gestures, speech therapy can help your child learn the skills they need to communicate effectively and confidently. Additionally, speech therapy can help your child during the critical period of language development, making it important to start as soon as possible if there are any delays. Though it can sometimes be difficult to determine if your child needs speech therapy, the signs are often quite obvious, such as being very quiet, saying only a few words, or not speaking at all. To help guide you with this process, please visit our website for an extensive guide to speech therapy.
