Cutting Edge Pediatric and Adult Therapy | Mansfield

At Cutting Edge Pediatric and Adult Therapy in Mansfield, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is diagnosed with autism, speech therapy is almost always recommended to help them with social communication. Even if your child is very verbal, they may need to work on communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, and understanding body language. Speech therapy is a key part of early intervention for autistic children and is the ideal starting point for those recently diagnosed. As language development is a critical period in the brain, it’s important to teach language and communication skills as early as possible, especially if there are any delays in that area. Speech therapy can help your child learn effective ways to communicate, leading to more independence and confidence. Signs that your child may be struggling with speech include being very quiet, saying only a few words, or not speaking at all. To learn more about speech therapy and how Cutting Edge Pediatric and Adult Therapy in Mansfield can help, read our comprehensive guide.
