Central Texas Speech Pathology Services, Inc. – North Austin

If you’re wondering whether your child needs speech therapy, Central Texas Speech Pathology Services, Inc. – North Austin can help. Speech therapy is almost always recommended for autistic children since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if a child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they may need to work on communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversation, changing conversation topics, using gestures like pointing, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention for autistic children and is usually the starting place for recently diagnosed kids. It’s important to teach language and communication skills as early as possible, especially if there are any delays. Speech therapy can help your child learn effective ways to communicate, grow into more independent and confident individuals, and understand body language. It might be obvious when a child struggles with speaking —they are very quiet, say only a few words, or don’t speak at all.
