Burger Physical Therapy | Grass Valley

At Burger Physical Therapy in Grass Valley, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. Many people with autism have difficulty with social communication, and speech therapy is often recommended for those with autism. It is important to get started with speech therapy as early as possible, as there is a critical period in the brain for language development. Even if your child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they could still need to work on communication skills, like responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures like pointing, or understanding other people’s body language. Signs that your child may need speech therapy could include being very quiet, saying only a few words, or not speaking at all. To help support you and your child, Burger Physical Therapy has created a complete guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy.
