SpeechKids, LLC

At SpeechKids, LLC, we understand how important it is to identify and address any difficulties your child is having with communication. Speech therapy is often recommended for children on the autism spectrum, as many of them have difficulty with social communication. Even if your child is verbal and speaks a lot of words, they may still benefit from learning how to respond to questions, start and end conversations, change conversation topics, and understand body language. Speech therapy is a key focus in early intervention for autistic children, and the earlier intervention begins, the better. If your child is quiet, speaks only a few words, or doesn’t speak at all, it may be time to seek out speech therapy. To help you understand more about speech therapy, SpeechKids, LLC has created a complete guide to everything you need to know.

At SpeechKids, LLC, we believe that speech therapy can help children develop their communication skills in a variety of ways. Our therapists work to help children communicate effectively in all settings, and use a combination of verbal speech, gestures, simple signs, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) to do so. We also specialize in helping children develop nonverbal skills, such as signs or gestures, form speech more clearly, communicate thoughts and feelings, understand and respond to questions, discern facial expressions and their emotions, notice and understand body language, and with feeding and swallowing. SpeechKids, LLC is here to help your child become a more confident and effective communicator.
