Have questions?

For parents who are wondering if their child needs speech therapy, First Step, Inc. in Malvern can provide a comprehensive guide. Speech therapy is often recommended for autistic children as it helps them develop social communication skills such as responding to questions, changing conversation topics, and understanding body language. Speech therapy is also an important focus of early intervention and is a great way to support language development in young children. Signs that a child may need speech therapy include difficulty speaking, being very quiet, saying only a few words, or not speaking at all. To learn more about speech therapy and how it can benefit your child, check out the comprehensive guide from First Step, Inc. in Malvern.
