Children's Specialized Hospital – Children's Specialized Outpatient Center at Toms River Stevens Road

At Children’s Specialized Hospital and Outpatient Center at Toms River Stevens Road, we understand that it’s important to know when your child needs speech therapy. If your child is autistic, speech therapy is almost always recommended, as many people with autism have difficulty with social communication, even if they are very verbal. Speech therapy helps children learn effective ways to communicate and can help them grow into more independent and confident individuals. If your child struggles with speaking, is very quiet, says only a few words, or doesn’t speak at all, it might be time to look into speech therapy. To help you get a better understanding of speech therapy and decide whether it is the right option for your child, we’ve put together a complete guide to everything you need to know.

At Children’s Specialized Hospital – Children’s Specialized Outpatient Center at Toms River Stevens Road, our speech therapy services are designed to help your child develop the skills necessary for effective communication. Our team can provide support with nonverbal skills, verbal speech, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), as well as help with forming speech in a clearer way, communicating thoughts and feelings, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions, understanding body language, and addressing stuttering. Our goal is to help your child communicate in all environments.
