Sunshine Village | Agawam

At Sunshine Village in Agawam, we understand how important it is to know if your child needs speech therapy. If you think your child may have difficulty with social communication, it is almost always recommended to have them assessed by a speech therapist. Speech therapy can help your child in many ways, including responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures, understanding body language, and more. Early intervention is key, as language development occurs during a critical period in the brain. With the right support, your child can become an independent and confident communicator. If you’re still unsure if your child needs speech therapy, we have created a complete guide to help you understand the signs and the benefits of speech therapy.

At Sunshine Village in Agawam, our speech therapists are dedicated to helping your child communicate effectively in all environments. Our team specializes in providing support for nonverbal skills, forming speech in a clearer way, communicating thoughts and feelings, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions and their corresponding emotions, noticing and understanding body language, and feeding and swallowing. Let us help your child reach their communication goals and speech milestones with professional, compassionate speech therapy.
