At Katrina Mackenzie, we understand how important it is to recognize when your child needs speech therapy. If your child has autism, speech therapy is almost always recommended due to difficulty with social communication. Even if a child is very verbal, they may need to work on communication skills like responding to questions, starting and ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures, and understanding body language. Speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention for autistic children and is often the first step for those recently diagnosed. Therefore, it is important to start teaching language and communication skills as early as possible. If your child is struggling with speaking, such as being very quiet, saying only a few words, or not speaking at all, you may want to consider speech therapy.

At Katrina Mackenzie, we understand that speech therapy can help your child communicate effectively across all environments. Our experienced speech therapists use a variety of techniques, including gestures, signs, verbal speech, and AAC, to help your child improve their nonverbal skills, form speech in a clearer way, communicate thoughts and feelings, understand and respond to questions, discern facial expressions, understand body language, and improve stuttering. We strive to make sure that your child gets the help they need to succeed.
