At The Shafer Center for Early Intervention, we understand that it can be difficult to determine whether your child needs speech therapy. Speech therapy is an important part of early intervention for autistic children, so if you suspect that your child may have difficulty with social communication, it’s important to seek help as soon as possible. Our guide can help you understand the signs that may indicate your child needs speech therapy, including: responding to questions, starting or ending conversation, changing conversation topics, understanding other people’s body language, and using gestures like pointing. With the help of our experienced professionals and our comprehensive guide, you can make sure that your child gets the best possible care and has the skills they need to be successful.
