Keystone Behavioral Pediatrics

At Keystone Behavioral Pediatrics, we understand that it can be difficult to know whether or not your child needs speech therapy. If your child is on the autism spectrum, they will almost always require speech therapy, as many individuals with autism have difficulty with social communication. Speech therapy is important for those with autism to learn communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, and understanding other people’s body language. It is especially important for those recently diagnosed with autism to start speech therapy early, as there is a critical period of language development that should be taken advantage of. If your child is struggling with speaking, such as being very quiet, saying only a few words, or not speaking at all, then speech therapy may be beneficial.
