At Dr. Amy Nordness, we understand that it can be difficult to determine whether or not your child needs speech therapy. However, it is almost always recommended for autistic children, as many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if a child is very verbal, they may need to work on communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is a major focus in early intervention for autistic children and is typically the starting point for kids who have been recently diagnosed. It is important to start speech therapy early in order to take advantage of the critical period in the brain for language development. Through speech therapy, your child will learn effective ways to communicate, helping them to become more independent and confident. If your child is very quiet, only says a few words, or doesn’t speak at all, this may be a sign that they need speech therapy. At Dr. Amy Nordness, we have compiled all the information you need to know about speech therapy in our complete guide, so you can make an informed decision about your child’s needs.
