ICARD, PLLC

At ICARD, PLLC, we understand how important it is to know if your child needs speech therapy. We recommend consulting with a speech-language pathologist to know for sure, but there are some common signs to look for. Speech therapy is almost always recommended for autistic children since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if a child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they might need to work on communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversation, changing conversation topics, using gestures like pointing, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention for autistic children and is usually the starting place for recently diagnosed kids. If you are unsure if your child needs speech therapy, please don’t hesitate to consult with our expert speech-language pathologists at ICARD, PLLC. We can answer any questions you may have and provide the best care for your child.
