The Down Syndrome Clinic at Prisma Health Children’s Hospital

At The Down Syndrome Clinic at Prisma Health Children’s Hospital, we understand that determining if your child needs speech therapy can be a difficult process. If you’re wondering if your child needs speech therapy, here are some signs to look out for: difficulty responding to questions, difficulty starting or ending conversations, difficulty changing conversation topics, lack of use of gestures such as pointing, inability to understand other people’s body language, and difficulty expressing their needs. Early intervention is key for autistic children due to the critical period in the brain for language development. At The Down Syndrome Clinic, we strive to provide the highest quality speech therapy so that your child can develop effective communication skills, become more independent, and gain confidence. Our complete guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy can help you determine if your child needs speech therapy.
