Vivage Senior Living | Greeley | Fairacres Manor

At Vivage Senior Living Greeley Fairacres Manor, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is autistic, speech therapy is almost always recommended as it can help with social communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing topics and understanding body language. It is important to start early with speech therapy as language development occurs in a critical period in the brain. Speech therapy can help your child to become more independent and confident by learning effective ways to communicate. If your child is very quiet, says only a few words, or doesn’t speak at all, that could be an indication they need speech therapy. We have a comprehensive guide to help you understand what speech therapy is and how it can benefit your child.
