Joshua Center for Neurological Disorders | Lee’s Summit

At the Joshua Center for Neurological Disorders in Lee’s Summit, we understand how important it is to recognize if your child needs speech therapy. If you’re asking yourself, “How do I know if my child needs speech therapy?”, we can help. Speech therapy is almost always recommended for autistic children due to their difficulty with social communication. Your child may need help with responding to questions, starting or ending conversation, changing conversation topics, using gestures, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is an essential part of early intervention for autistic children and can help them develop language and communication skills as early as possible. If your child struggles with speaking, it’s important to seek help from a professional. To learn more, check out our comprehensive guide to speech therapy.
