ACES – Lakewood

ACES Lakewood offers a complete guide to help parents understand when their child might need speech therapy. Speech therapy is almost always recommended for autistic children to help them learn communication skills such as responding to questions, starting conversations, changing conversation topics, and understanding body language. Early intervention is critical for language development and can help children grow into more independent and confident individuals. If a child is very quiet, says only a few words, or doesn’t speak at all, parents should consider speech therapy. ACES Lakewood provides comprehensive advice and resources to help parents identify when their child might need speech therapy.
