At Banner Health & Banner University Medicine Clinic Tucson, we understand that it can be difficult to know when 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 your child is very verbal, they may still need to work on communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures, and understanding body language. Early intervention is key to language development and can help your child grow into a more independent and confident individual. If your child struggles with speaking or is very quiet, says only a few words, or doesn’t speak at all, it may be time to consider speech therapy.
