Marshall Pediatric Therapy | Nicholasville

If you’re wondering if your child needs speech therapy, Marshall Pediatric Therapy in Nicholasville is here to help. Speech therapy is almost always recommended for autistic children since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if a child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they might need to work on communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures like pointing, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy can help children learn effective ways to communicate and grow into more independent and confident individuals. It might be obvious when a child struggles with speaking —they are very quiet, say only a few words, or don’t speak at all.
