At YAI | Bayside, we understand that it can be hard to know if your child needs speech therapy. Many autistic children require speech therapy to help with social communication, even if they are already very verbal. Speech therapy focuses on language development and communication skills which can help your child become an independent and confident individual. Signs that your child might need speech therapy include not speaking, speaking very quietly, or only saying a few words.
