Spaulding Outpatient Center Boston

At Spaulding Outpatient Center Boston, we understand that it can be difficult to determine if your child requires speech therapy. If your child is autistic, speech therapy is usually recommended due to the common difficulty people with autism have with social communication. Even if your child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they may still need to work on communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversation, using gestures, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is an important part of early intervention for autistic children and can help them become more independent and confident individuals. If your child is very quiet, says only a few words, or doesn’t speak at all, it may be time to explore speech therapy.
