At Banner Health and University Medical Center Phoenix, we understand that determining if your child needs speech therapy can be difficult. That’s why we provide comprehensive resources to help you make the best decision for your family. Our guide to speech therapy will provide you with information on how to identify if your child could benefit from this type of therapy and how it can help them grow into confident and independent individuals. Speech therapy is often recommended for autistic children and those with language development delays. Our guide covers topics such as responding to questions, starting and ending conversations, understanding body language, and more. Visit our website for more information on speech therapy and how it can help your child.
