At Maine General Outpatient Occupational Therapy/Neurology, we understand the importance of speech therapy for autistic children. Speech therapy helps children learn the skills needed to communicate effectively, respond to questions, and understand body language. It is a critical part of early intervention for autistic children and should be considered if there are any delays in language development. If you think your child needs speech therapy, our guide provides everything you need to know about the process. With our help, your child can learn to communicate in a confident and independent manner.
