Enrichment Therapy and Learning Center, PC | Des Moines

At Enrichment Therapy and Learning Center, PC in Des Moines, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. It is almost always recommended for children with autism, as they often experience difficulty with social communication. Even if your child has already developed verbal skills, it may be beneficial to enhance their communication abilities, such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing topics, and understanding body language. Speech therapy is a key component of early intervention for autistic children, since there is a critical period in the brain for language development. By engaging in speech therapy, your child can learn to communicate more effectively and become more independent and confident. Signs that a child may need speech therapy include being very quiet, saying few words, or not speaking at all.
