Hope's Playground Pediatric Therapy

At Hope’s Playground Pediatric Therapy, we understand that it can be difficult to determine if your child needs speech therapy. In most cases, it is recommended for autistic children, since there can be difficulty with social communication. Even if your child speaks a lot of words, they may need to work on communication skills such as responding to questions, changing conversation topics, understanding body language, and more. Speech therapy is a great place to start for recently diagnosed children, as there is a critical period for language development and it’s important to teach language and communication skills as soon as possible. If your child struggles with speaking, you may notice that they are very quiet, say only a few words, or don’t speak at all. We have a complete guide to give you all the information you need to know about speech therapy – so you can make the best decision for your child.

At Hope’s Playground Pediatric Therapy, we understand how important it is for children to be able to communicate effectively with others. Our skilled speech therapists can help enhance your child’s nonverbal skills, clarity of speech, understanding of facial expressions and body language, and aid in feeding and swallowing, as well as help with stuttering. We strive to provide your child with the tools they need to communicate confidently and effectively.
