Community Options, Inc. | Morris/ Essex/ Sussex Office

If you’re wondering if your child needs speech therapy, Community Options, Inc. Morris/Essex/Sussex Office recommends that it is almost always recommended for autistic children due to the potential difficulties many have with social communication. Speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention for autistic children and is usually the starting place for recently diagnosed kids. It is important to teach language and communication skills as early as possible, and your child will learn effective ways to communicate which will help them grow into more independent and confident individuals. If your child is very quiet, says only a few words, or doesn’t speak at all, they may need speech therapy.
