Behavior Analysis Support Services (BASS), Inc. | Bradenton

At Behavior Analysis Support Services (BASS), Inc. in Bradenton, we understand that it can be difficult to determine if your child needs speech therapy. If your child has been diagnosed with autism, speech therapy is almost always recommended. Even if your child is very verbal, they may need to work on communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing topics, using gestures, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention for autistic children and there is a critical period in the brain for language development. Early language skills are important for helping a child grow into more independent and confident individuals. If your child is very quiet, says only a few words, or does not speak at all, speech therapy may be necessary. We can help you understand everything you need to know about speech therapy and determine if it is the right option for your child. Contact BASS, Inc. today to learn more.
