Kidz First Therapy LLC | Akin Dr, Lee's Summit

At Kidz First Therapy LLC in Lee’s Summit, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is autistic, speech therapy is almost always recommended since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if your child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they could still benefit from therapy to help with communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is a key focus in early intervention for autistic children and can help them grow into more independent and confident individuals. If your child is struggling with speaking, such as being very quiet, saying only a few words, or not speaking at all, Kidz First Therapy LLC is here to help. Check out our complete guide to learn more about speech therapy and how it can help your child.
