The Center for Precious Minds | Miami 3

At The Center for Precious Minds in Miami 3, we understand that parents may need guidance in recognizing if their child might need speech therapy. Speech therapy is a common recommendation for children diagnosed with autism since they may have difficulty with social communication. Even if your child is verbal and says a lot of words, they might need to work on communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing topics, using gestures, and understanding body language. Speech therapy is important for early intervention and helps children learn how to communicate effectively, which can lead to increased independence and confidence. If your child is very quiet, says only a few words, or doesn’t speak at all, they may be in need of speech therapy. To help you better understand this process, we’ve created a comprehensive guide to speech therapy on our website.

At The Center for Precious Minds in Miami 3, our experienced speech therapists can help your child in a variety of ways. From forming speech in a clearer way to using gestures and signs to communicating thoughts and feelings, our team is here to assist with nonverbal skills, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions, noticing and understanding body language, feeding and swallowing, and stuttering. With our help, your child can be empowered to express themselves and communicate effectively in all settings.
