Camco Physical and Occupational Therapy, LLC | Johnstown

At Camco Physical and Occupational Therapy, LLC in Johnstown we understand how important it is to identify if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is autistic, speech therapy is usually recommended as many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if your child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they may need to work on communication skills such as responding to questions, starting and ending conversation, changing conversation topics, using gestures, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is a key part of early intervention for autistic children and is the starting point for those recently diagnosed. With language being a critical part of development, it is essential to help your child learn effective ways to communicate which will help them grow into more independent and confident individuals. If your child is very quiet, says only a few words, or doesn’t speak at all, it may be time to look into speech therapy.
