Lavinia Pereira SLP PC

At Lavinia Pereira SLP PC, we understand that it can be difficult to discern if your child requires speech therapy. If your child is diagnosed with autism, speech therapy is almost always recommended to help them with communication skills such as responding to questions, changing conversation topics, using gestures, and understanding other people’s body language. Early intervention is key to language development, so it is critical to teach language and communication skills as soon as possible if there are any delays in that area. If your child is struggling with speaking, they may be very quiet, have limited words, or not speak at all. To learn more about speech therapy, please read our comprehensive guide.

At Lavinia Pereira SLP PC, we understand how important it is for children to be able to communicate effectively with those around them. Our speech therapists specialize in helping children develop their verbal, nonverbal, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) skills so that they can better interact in all environments. We can also help your child with forming speech in a clearer way, expressing thoughts and feelings, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions and body language, and even with feeding and swallowing. With our specialized speech therapy services, your child can benefit from improved communication skills and increased confidence.
