Bench Mark Physical | Oak Ridge

At Bench Mark Physical in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, we understand how important it is to identify whether your child needs speech therapy. If your child is diagnosed with autism, speech therapy is almost always necessary. 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 conversation topics, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is an important part of early intervention for autistic children, and it is important to start teaching communication and language skills as early as possible in order to maximize language development. Signs that your child may need speech therapy include being unusually quiet, saying only a few words, or not speaking at all.
