Community Options – Dallas

At Community Options – Dallas, we understand that it can be difficult to determine if your child needs speech therapy. While it is almost always recommended for autistic children, many people with autism have difficulty with social communication, and even very verbal children may need to work on communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is also important for early intervention and language development in young children, and it helps them become more independent and confident. If your child is very quiet, says only a few words, or doesn’t speak at all, they may need speech therapy. That’s why we created this guide to give you everything you need to know about speech therapy.

At Community Options – Dallas, we understand how important it is for your child to communicate effectively, which is why we offer speech therapy services to help them do so. Our speech therapists are trained to help with nonverbal skills, forming speech in a clearer way, communicating thoughts and feelings, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions and their corresponding emotions, noticing and understanding body language, and more. Our goal is to give your child the tools they need to communicate in all environments, including using gestures, simple signs, verbal speech, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). With our comprehensive speech therapy services, we’re confident that your child will be able to communicate with confidence.
