Convey Speech, Janet Convey, M.A. CCC-SLP

At Convey Speech, Janet Convey, M.A. CCC-SLP, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. It is often recommended for autistic children since they may have difficulty communicating and understanding social cues. Even if your child is very verbal, they may need to work on communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures, and understanding body language. Speech therapy is often the starting place for recently diagnosed autistic children since it is important to teach language and communication skills as early as possible. Your child will learn how to effectively communicate which will help them grow into more independent and confident individuals. If you notice that your child is struggling with speaking or is very quiet, says only a few words, or doesn’t speak at all, it might be time to consider speech therapy. Convey Speech can help you understand everything you need to know about speech therapy so you can make an informed decision for your child.
