Ivy Rehab for Kids | Chesapeake | Kingsborough (Kids)

At Ivy Rehab for Kids in Chesapeake and Kingsborough, we understand that it can be difficult to determine if your child needs speech therapy. Signs of a communication disorder can be subtle, and it may not be obvious that your child is struggling. Speech therapy can help children learn the skills necessary to communicate effectively and confidently, so it’s important to know the signs of a speech disorder. 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 may 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. If you think your child may need speech therapy, please visit Ivy Rehab for Kids in Chesapeake and Kingsborough to learn more about how we can help your child develop the skills to effectively and confidently communicate.
