NYS Early Intervention Program | Erie County Health Department

If you’re wondering whether your child needs speech therapy, the NYS Early Intervention Program and the Erie County Health Department are here to help. Speech therapy is often recommended for children on the autism spectrum, as many individuals with autism have difficulty with social communication. Speech therapy can address areas such as responding to questions, changing conversation topics, using gestures, and understanding body language. Early intervention is key when it comes to supporting language development and giving your child the skills to communicate effectively and confidently. If you notice your child is having trouble speaking, our comprehensive guide to speech therapy can help you determine if your child needs extra support.

At NYS Early Intervention Program, we understand how important it is for your child to be able to effectively communicate with others. That’s why our team of Erie County Health Department speech therapists is dedicated to helping your child develop the skills they need to communicate. Through speech therapy, we can help your child with nonverbal skills, forming speech, expressing thoughts and feelings, understanding questions, discerning facial expressions and body language, feeding and swallowing, and even addressing stuttering. Let our team help your child reach their communication goals and develop the skills they need to succeed.
