Hear Center

At Hear Center, we understand that it can be difficult to tell whether or not your child needs speech therapy. If your child is diagnosed with autism, speech therapy is almost always recommended due to the difficulty many people with autism have with social communication. Even if your child is very verbal and can use a lot of words, they may still need to work on communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is incredibly important for early intervention for autistic children and is a great place to start for recently diagnosed kids as there is a critical period for language development in the brain. Speech therapy will not only help your child learn effective ways to communicate, but also help them grow into more independent and confident individuals. If you notice your child is struggling with speaking, whether they are very quiet, say only a few words, or don’t speak at all, Hear Center has a guide on everything you need to know about speech therapy.

At Hear Center, we understand how important communication is for your child, and how speech therapy can help. Our speech therapists can help your child with a range of communication skills, including nonverbal skills, forming speech clearly, expressing thoughts and feelings, understanding questions, recognizing facial expressions and body language, and even with feeding and swallowing. Our experienced and professional staff will work with your child to ensure they become a confident communicator.
