Circle of Care | Cospus Christi

At Circle of Care in Corpus Christi, we understand that determining if your child needs speech therapy can be difficult. If your child is diagnosed with autism, speech therapy is almost always recommended since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if your child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they might need to work on communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures like pointing, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention for autistic children and is usually the starting place for recently diagnosed kids. It’s really important to teach language and communication skills as early as possible, especially if there are any delays in that area. Our team of experts can provide guidance so your child can learn effective ways to communicate, helping them grow into more independent and confident individuals. If your child is struggling with speaking, they may be very quiet, say only a few words, or not speak at all. We have created a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy, so reach out to Circle of Care in Corpus Christi today to learn more.
