Cynthia Roseann Marapodi, MS, understands that parents of autistic children often have questions about speech therapy. If you’re wondering if your child needs speech therapy, there are a few key indicators that can help you determine the answer. Many people with autism have difficulty with social communication, so speech therapy is almost always recommended. Signs that speech therapy may be beneficial for your child include difficulty responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing topics, using gestures, understanding body language, and speaking in general. Speech therapy is a foundational part of early intervention for children with autism, as language and communication skills are important to develop as early as possible. With the help of an experienced Speech Pathologist like Cynthia Roseann Marapodi, MS, your child can learn effective communication skills to help them become more independent and confident.
