Bright Start Therapies | Sacramento

At Bright Start Therapies in Sacramento, we understand that it can be difficult to know if 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. Speech therapy can also help children who are very verbal but may need to work on communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, or understanding other people’s body language. Early intervention for autistic children typically involves speech therapy, since there is a critical period in the brain for language development. Through speech therapy, children can learn effective ways to communicate and grow into more independent and confident individuals. If your child is struggling with speaking, they may be very quiet, say only a few words, or not speak at all. To learn more about speech therapy, please visit our website for our complete guide.
