Achievement Centers for Children – Westlake

At Achievement Centers for Children – Westlake, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. Speech therapy is often recommended for children with autism who may have difficulty with communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, and understanding other people’s body language. Early intervention is key when it comes to language development and teaching language and communication skills is essential for your child’s growth and development. If your child is very quiet, says only a few words, or doesn’t speak at all, it might be time to look into speech therapy. We have created a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy, so you can make the best decision for your child.

At Achievement Centers for Children – Westlake, our speech therapists are focused on helping children express themselves effectively. Through a variety of methods, such as verbal speech, AAC, gestures, and signs, our professionals can help your child learn to communicate in a variety of ways. Additionally, our speech therapists can help improve nonverbal skills, form speech in a clearer way, express thoughts and feelings, understand and respond to questions, discern facial expressions, understand body language, and improve feeding and swallowing.
