Access Rehab Center | Southbury

At Access Rehab Center in Southbury, we understand how important it is to recognize if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is autistic, speech therapy is almost always recommended since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if a child is very verbal, they may need to work on communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures, and understanding other people’s body language. Early intervention for autistic children often includes speech therapy, and it is important to teach language and communication skills as early as possible. Signs that a child may need speech therapy include being very quiet, saying only a few words, or not speaking at all.
