Access Rehab Center | East Main Street | Waterbury

At Access Rehab Center on East Main Street in Waterbury, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. If your child has been diagnosed with autism, speech therapy is almost always recommended since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if your child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they might need to work on communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversation, changing conversation topics, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention for autistic children, so it’s important to start as early as possible. Signs that your child may need speech therapy include being very quiet, saying only a few words, or not speaking at all. To learn more about how Access Rehab Center can help with speech therapy, please refer to our guide to everything you need to know.
