J&S Pediatric Therapy

At J&S Pediatric Therapy, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child might need speech therapy. If your child has been diagnosed with autism, it is almost always recommended that they receive speech therapy to help them develop communication skills such as responding to questions, changing conversation topics, using gestures, and understanding body language. Early intervention is key, as there is a critical period in the brain for language development, so it is important to teach language and communication skills as soon as possible. If your child is very quiet, only says a few words, or has difficulty speaking, they may need speech therapy. Read our comprehensive guide to learn more about speech therapy and the benefits it can provide.

At J&S Pediatric Therapy, we understand the importance of ensuring your child can communicate effectively with others. Our speech therapy services are designed to help your child achieve this goal, whether through learning verbal speech, using gestures and signs, or relying on Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). Our speech therapists are experienced in helping children improve their nonverbal skills, form their speech more clearly, communicate their thoughts and feelings, understand and respond to questions, discern facial expressions and their emotions, understand body language, and improve their feeding and swallowing. By working with our experts, your child can gain the skills needed to communicate with the world around them.
