Pediatric Psychology Associates | Aventura Location

At Pediatric Psychology Associates in Aventura, we understand that it can be difficult to determine if your child needs speech therapy. If your child has been diagnosed with autism, speech therapy is almost always recommended. Even if a child appears to be very verbal, they may need to work on communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, and even understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is a critical part of early intervention for autistic children and offers the opportunity for language development as early as possible. You may suspect that your child needs speech therapy if they are very quiet, say only a few words, or don’t speak at all. To learn more, explore our comprehensive guide to speech therapy.
