Living Independently Forever | Region III

At Living Independently Forever Region III, we understand how important it is to identify if your child needs speech therapy. It could be obvious if a child struggles with speaking—they are very quiet, say only a few words, or don’t speak at all. This is why speech therapy is almost always recommended for autistic children as many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention for autistic children and can help them develop communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversation, changing conversation topics, using gestures like pointing, and understanding other people’s body language. Our guide to speech therapy can provide you with everything you need to know to help your child become more independent and confident.
