Coastal Pediatric Therapies

At Coastal Pediatric Therapies, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. Speech therapy is often recommended for autistic children, as many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if your child is very verbal, they may need to hone their communication skills, such as responding to questions, changing conversation topics, and understanding body language. Speech therapy is a critical part of early intervention for autistic children, and it’s important to teach language and communication skills as early as possible. If your child is struggling with speaking, they may be very quiet, say only a few words, or not speak at all. That’s why we’ve created a comprehensive guide to help you better understand speech therapy and determine if your child needs it. Visit our website to learn more.
