At Banner Health and Banner Gateway Medical Center, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is diagnosed with autism, speech therapy is usually recommended. Your child may need help with communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures, and understanding other people’s body language. It is important to start speech therapy as early as possible in order to maximize language development and help your child grow into a more independent and confident individual. If you are unsure if your child needs speech therapy, our complete guide provides everything you need to know about this important topic.
