Child's Play Therapy Center

At Child’s Play Therapy Center, we understand that it’s not always easy to know if your child needs speech therapy. When it comes to autistic children, speech therapy is almost always recommended since many experience difficulty with social communication. Speech therapy can help your child learn effective communication skills, from responding to questions to using gestures and understanding body language. This type of therapy is especially important during the brain’s critical period for language development, as it can help your child become more independent and confident. Signs that your child may need speech therapy range from being very quiet and saying only a few words to not speaking at all. To help you make an informed decision, we’ve created a comprehensive guide on everything you need to know about speech therapy.

At Child’s Play Therapy Center, we understand how important communication can be for a child’s growth and development. Our speech therapy services are designed to help your child express themselves and interact with others more effectively. Our Speech Therapists utilize a variety of approaches, including gestures, signs, verbal speech, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), to help your child develop essential communication skills. We can assist with nonverbal skills, forming speech in a clearer way, communicating thoughts and feelings, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions and their corresponding emotions, noticing and understanding body language, and feeding and swallowing. With our help, your child can learn to communicate and interact more effectively.
