Knickerbocker Day Hab | Bohemia

At Knickerbocker Day Hab in Bohemia, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. Speech therapy is often recommended for autistic children, as many have difficulty with social communication. Even if your child is very verbal, they may need to work on communication skills such as responding to questions, changing conversations topics, and understanding other people’s body language. Early intervention is key for language development, and speech therapy is a great way to teach language and communication skills. If your child struggles with speaking, it may be time to consider speech therapy. To learn more, please visit our website and check out our complete guide to speech therapy.
