Leaps & Bounds Pediatric Physical Therapy | Corona Clinic

At Leaps & Bounds Pediatric Physical Therapy Corona Clinic, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. If you’re unsure, it may be helpful to understand that speech therapy is almost always recommended for autistic children, as many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if your child is very verbal, they might still need help with communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing topics, and understanding others’ body language. Speech therapy is an important part of early intervention for autistic children and is typically the first step for those recently diagnosed. You can also look out for signs that your child might need speech therapy, such as speaking very quietly, saying few words, or not speaking at all.
