Child Works Therapy Center

At Child Works Therapy Center, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. Speech therapy is often recommended for autistic children due to the social communication difficulties associated with the disorder. However, even if your child has a lot of verbal ability, they may still benefit from the communication skills and techniques that speech therapy can provide. These can include responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures, and understanding other people’s body language. Early intervention is key when it comes to language development, so it’s important to seek speech therapy as soon as any delays in communication are identified. If your child is very quiet, only speaks a few words, or doesn’t speak at all, it may be an indication that they need speech therapy. To help you navigate this process, Child Works Therapy Center has created a comprehensive guide to speech therapy that includes all the information you need to know.

At Child Works Therapy Center, we understand how important it is for your child to be able to communicate effectively. Our speech therapists can help your child with a variety of communication issues, from nonverbal skills, such as gestures or signs, to forming speech in a clearer way, to understanding and responding to questions. We can also help your child with discerning facial expressions and their corresponding emotions, noticing and understanding body language, feeding and swallowing, and more. Whatever your child’s needs are, we are here to help them grow and reach their communication potential!
