Children’s Hospital at Erlanger | Children's Therapy Services

At Children’s Hospital at Erlanger | Children’s Therapy Services, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is autistic, they may require speech therapy to help with social communication. Even if your child is very verbal, they could benefit from learning communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures, and understanding body language. Speech therapy is often recommended for recently diagnosed autistic children, as there is a window of opportunity for language development. With the help of our speech therapy services, your child will be able to learn effective ways to communicate and become more independent and confident. If your child is very quiet, says a few words, or does not speak at all, then it is likely that speech therapy may be beneficial. To learn more about speech therapy and how it can help your child, please visit our comprehensive guide.
