At the Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) Institute, we understand that it can be hard to know if your child needs speech therapy. Speech therapy is almost always recommended for autistic children since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if your child is very verbal, they may need to work on communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing topics, using gestures, and understanding other people’s body language. Early intervention is crucial for language development, so it’s important to start working on communication skills as soon as possible. If your child is very quiet, says few words, or doesn’t speak at all, it may be time to look into speech therapy.
