NYS Early Intervention Program | Brooklyn (Kings County)

At NYS Early Intervention Program in Brooklyn (Kings County), we understand how important it is to assess whether your child needs speech therapy. Speech therapy is almost always recommended for children with autism, as they often have difficulty communicating socially. Speech therapy focuses on teaching communication skills such as responding to questions, starting and ending conversations, using body language, and understanding others. Early intervention is important for language development, so it is essential to teach language and communication skills as soon as possible. If your child struggles with speaking, they may be very quiet, say only a few words, or not speak at all. To help you determine whether your child needs speech therapy, NYS Early Intervention Program has created a comprehensive guide to answer all your questions.
