Shana Kelly, M.S.

At Shana Kelly, M.S., we understand that understanding when your child needs speech therapy can be difficult. If you’re unsure, it’s best to consult a professional for an evaluation. Speech therapy is often recommended for children with autism since many have difficulty with social communication. This type of therapy focuses on improving communication skills like responding to questions, starting conversations, using gestures, and understanding body language. It’s important to get speech therapy early on since there is a critical period in the brain for language development, and it can help your child become more independent and confident. If your child is very quiet, says few words, or doesn’t speak at all, it may be a sign that they need speech therapy. To learn more, check out our complete guide to speech therapy.
