Ageless Living Home Health | Austin

At Ageless Living Home Health in Austin, we understand that determining if your child needs speech therapy can be difficult. However, for children on the autism spectrum, speech therapy is often recommended as a way to help them develop social communication skills. Speech therapy can help autistic children learn to respond to questions, start and end conversations, change topics, understand body language, and use gestures like pointing. Early intervention is important for language development, and speech therapy is often the starting point for recently diagnosed kids. If your child is having difficulty speaking, or is very quiet, saying only a few words, or not speaking at all, it may be beneficial to consider speech therapy.
