At Long Island Select Healthcare, Inc. in Central Islip, we understand how important it is to know when your child may need speech therapy. If your child is diagnosed with autism, speech therapy is generally recommended since many autistic individuals 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, starting or ending conversation, changing conversation topics, using gestures such as pointing, or understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is often the starting place for recently diagnosed kids and is important for language development in the early stages. If you are concerned about whether your child needs speech therapy, our guide to speech therapy has all the information you need to know. Visit us online today to learn more.
