Discovery Therapy

At Discovery Therapy, we understand how important it is to identify when a child needs speech therapy. If your child is on the autism spectrum, speech therapy is almost always recommended since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if a child is very verbal, they might need to work on language and communication skills, such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is especially important in early intervention for autistic children, as there is a critical period in the brain for language development. By learning effective ways to communicate, your child can become more independent and confident. Signs of a child struggling with speaking include being very quiet, saying only a few words, or not speaking at all. To help you understand more, we’ve put together a complete guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy. Discover the power of speech therapy and help your child reach their full potential with Discovery Therapy.
