Helping Hands Family | West Chester

At Helping Hands Family in West Chester, we understand that it can be difficult to determine when your child needs speech therapy. We can help you determine if your child needs speech therapy by looking for signs like difficulty responding to questions, difficulty starting or ending conversations, difficulty understanding others’ body language, and difficulty using gestures like pointing. Speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention for autistic children and is usually the starting place for recently diagnosed kids, as the critical period in the brain for language development is important to understand. We provide a complete guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy, so you can be sure your child has the best chance of reaching their full potential.
