LifeLab Kids Foundation | Macomb Location

At LifeLab Kids Foundation Macomb, we understand that it can be difficult to determine if your child needs speech therapy. But if your child is autistic, speech therapy is almost always recommended. Even if your child is verbal, they may need to work on communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures, and understanding other people’s body language. Early intervention is key for language development and will help your child grow into an independent and confident individual. If your child struggles with speaking, our guide to speech therapy will help you understand what you need to know. Let our experienced team at LifeLab Kids Foundation Macomb help you determine if your child needs speech therapy and guide you through the process.

To learn more, we recommend double-checking with your specific insurance plan to confirm that ABA is covered for your child’s diagnosis and that the provider you seek care from is in-network. To help you understand ABA therapy, we have created a comprehensive guide to answer all of your questions.
