At Holland Center | East, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is autistic, speech therapy is almost always recommended since social communication can be a challenge. Even if your child is very verbal, they may need help with communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing topics, and understanding body language. Speech therapy is typically a focus of early intervention for autistic children, and it’s important to start teaching language and communication skills as early as possible. Signs that your child may need speech therapy include difficulty speaking, saying only a few words, and not speaking at all. If you are uncertain if your child needs speech therapy, we have a comprehensive guide to help you understand the benefits and importance of speech therapy.
