Westchester Arc | Yonkers

At Westchester Arc in Yonkers, we understand how important it is to have access to the right information when it comes to determining whether your child may need speech therapy. We have a complete guide to help you understand the signs and symptoms to look out for and to help you decide if speech therapy is the right choice for your child. Speech therapy can help children with autism to better develop their communication skills and language, by providing strategies for responding to questions, initiating and ending conversations, changing topics, and understanding body language. Early intervention is key, as there is a critical period for language development in the brain, so it’s important to start speech therapy as soon as possible. If your child is very quiet, says few words, or doesn’t speak at all, they may benefit from speech therapy. To learn more, visit our website and explore our guide to speech therapy.
