Handprints Behavioral Therapy

At Handprints Behavioral Therapy, we understand that it can be difficult to determine if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is diagnosed with autism, speech therapy is almost always recommended to help address social communication difficulties. Speech therapy can help children learn to respond to questions, start and end conversations, change conversation topics, use gestures, and understand others’ body language. Early intervention is critical for language development, so if you think your child is having any delays in this area, it’s important to seek out speech therapy. Signs that your child might need speech therapy can include being very quiet, saying only a few words, or not speaking at all. To learn more, please check out our comprehensive guide to speech therapy.
