Optimae Life Services | Old Capitol Region

At Optimae Life Services in the Old Capitol Region, we understand that it can be difficult to determine if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is on the autism spectrum, speech therapy is almost always recommended. Even if your child is very verbal, they may still need help with communication skills such as responding to questions, changing conversation topics, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is a critical part of early intervention for autistic children and can help them learn effective ways to communicate, so they can become more independent and confident. Signs that your child may need speech therapy include not speaking at all, speaking very few words, and not being able to respond to questions. For more information on speech therapy, please visit our guide.
