KinderCare | Oldsmar

At KinderCare Oldsmar, we understand that knowing when your child needs speech therapy can be difficult. We want to help you determine whether your child may benefit from speech therapy, and provide you with the resources you need to make an informed decision. If your child is on the autism spectrum, speech therapy is almost always recommended as many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if a child is very verbal, they might still need to work on communication skills like responding to questions, starting and ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention for autistic children and is usually the starting place for those recently diagnosed. As there is a critical period in the brain for language development, it is important to teach language and communication skills as early as possible, especially if there are any delays in that area. At KinderCare Oldsmar, we provide a complete guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy, so you can make the best decision for you and your child.

At KinderCare Oldsmar, our speech therapy services strive to help children communicate more effectively with others. We assist them in developing nonverbal skills, forming speech more clearly, and recognizing facial expressions and body language. We also work towards having children understand and respond to questions, communicate thoughts and feelings, and improve feeding and swallowing. Our goal is to provide the best possible support to help your child reach their full potential.
