ACES | Bakersfield

At ACES | Bakersfield, 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 since many autistic people have difficulty with social communication. Even if your child is very verbal, they may need help with communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing topics, using gestures, and understanding body language. Speech therapy is a key part of early intervention for autistic children and is often the starting place for recently diagnosed kids. It’s important to teach language and communication skills early on, so if there are any delays, they can be addressed promptly. You may notice that your child struggles to speak or is quieter than other kids. To learn more, check out our complete guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy.
