Community Options, Inc. | Atlantic/ Camden/ Cumberland/ Gloucester Office

At Community Options, Inc., our Atlantic/ Camden/ Cumberland/ Gloucester Office understands that it is important to recognize when a child needs speech therapy. It is almost always recommended for autistic children since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. If your child is having any difficulties with responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures, or understanding other people’s body language, then they may benefit from speech therapy. It is a critical period in the brain for language development, so it is important to teach language and communication skills as early as possible to help your child grow into an independent and confident individual. If you’re unsure if your child needs speech therapy, our complete guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy can help you make an informed decision.
