Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System | Pediatric Rehabilitation

If you’re wondering whether your child needs speech therapy, Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System’s Pediatric Rehabilitation team can help. Speech therapy is often recommended for autistic children since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Speech therapy helps children learn to respond to questions, start or end conversations, change conversation topics, use gestures, and understand other people’s body language. Early intervention is especially important since there is a critical period in the brain for language development. Speech therapy can help children become more independent and confident individuals. If your child is very quiet, says only a few words, or doesn’t speak at all, it might be time to consider speech therapy. Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System’s Pediatric Rehabilitation team can help you understand everything you need to know about speech therapy and determine if it’s the right choice for your child.

At Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System’s Pediatric Rehabilitation, our speech therapists provide tailored care to help your child communicate effectively. We help with nonverbal skills such as signs or gestures, forming speech in a clearer way, communicating thoughts and feelings clearly, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions and their corresponding emotions, noticing and understanding body language, and feeding and swallowing. We also provide Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) services to ensure your child has the necessary tools to succeed in any environment.
