Central Peninsula Rehabilitation | Kenai Rehabilitation Services

At Central Peninsula Rehabilitation | Kenai Rehabilitation Services, we understand that it can be difficult to tell 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 verbal, they may still benefit from speech therapy 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 can help your child learn effective ways to communicate and develop into an independent and confident individual. If your child is very quiet, only says a few words, or doesn’t speak at all, then speech therapy may be necessary.
