Garrison City Speech & Language Services, PLLC

Garrison City Speech & Language Services, PLLC is here to help you understand if your child needs speech therapy. If you have an autistic child, speech therapy is almost always recommended since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if your child is very verbal, they may need help with communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures, and understanding body language. Speech therapy is also important for language development and can help your child become more independent and confident. You may be able to tell if your child is struggling with speaking if they are very quiet, say only a few words, or don’t speak at all. To help you better understand if your child needs speech therapy, Garrison City Speech & Language Services, PLLC has created a comprehensive guide with everything you need to know.
