Hand Over Hand | Little Learner Academy, Lake Hopatcong

At Hand Over Hand | Little Learner Academy in Lake Hopatcong, we understand that it can be confusing to know if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is autistic, speech therapy is almost always recommended since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if your child is verbal, they could still benefit from speech therapy to help them with communication skills like responding to questions, starting conversations, changing topics, and understanding body language. Speech therapy is a critical part of early intervention for autistic children and can help them learn effective ways to communicate, fostering independence and confidence. If your child is very quiet, says few words, or doesn’t speak at all, they may need speech therapy. To learn more about what speech therapy entails, check out our complete guide.
