Children's Autism Center | Austin

At Children’s Autism Center Austin, we understand that it can be difficult to tell if your child needs speech therapy. Speech therapy is often recommended for autistic children since there can be difficulty with social communication. If your child is having difficulty responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing topics, using gestures, or understanding body language, they may need to work on communication skills. Early intervention is key and speech therapy can help your child to develop language and communication skills, as well as grow into more independent and confident individuals. To help you better understand if your child needs speech therapy, we have created a comprehensive guide that provides everything you need to know about speech therapy.
