Children's Hospital | Oceanside Center

At Children’s Hospital Oceanside Center, we understand that every child’s needs are unique and that it can be hard to know when to seek speech therapy. If you’re wondering if your child needs speech therapy, here are a few indicators that may point to a need for help: difficulty responding to questions, difficulty starting or ending conversations, difficulty changing conversation topics, difficulty using gestures, difficulty understanding other people’s body language, or very little verbal communication. Speech therapy is an important part of early intervention for autistic children, and it is important to start this type of therapy as soon as possible in order to maximize its effectiveness. If you suspect your child might need speech therapy, you can find more information on our website, including a complete guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy. At Children’s Hospital Oceanside Center, we are committed to helping your child reach their full potential.
