At Agency for Persons with Disabilities in Tallahassee, 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 people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if a child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they might need to work on communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention for autistic children and is usually the starting place for recently diagnosed kids. Our complete guide to speech therapy provides everything you need to know about this important treatment for autistic children, including how to recognize if your child needs it and why it is critical to start speech therapy as early as possible.
