Gregory Kistler Treatment Ctr

At Gregory Kistler Treatment Ctr, we understand how important it is to recognize when speech therapy is necessary for your child. If you are unsure if your child needs speech therapy, here are some signs to look out for: difficulty responding to questions, difficulty starting or ending conversations, difficulty changing topics, difficulty understanding other people’s body language, difficulty using gestures like pointing, and difficulty being verbal. Early intervention for autistic children often includes speech therapy as it builds a critical foundation for language development. By providing effective ways to communicate, speech therapy can help your child grow into an independent and confident individual. If your child is very quiet, says few words, or does not speak at all, it’s important to consider speech therapy as soon as possible.
