Mercy Kids Therapy Services | Mid Rivers | Cottleville

If you’re wondering whether your child needs speech therapy, Mercy Kids Therapy Services in Mid Rivers Cottleville can help. Speech therapy is often recommended for autistic children as many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if your child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they might need help with communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing topics, using gestures, and understanding body language. It’s important to teach language and communication skills as early as possible, especially if there are any delays in that area. Through speech therapy, your child will learn effective ways to communicate and become more independent and confident. Signs that a child could benefit from speech therapy include being very quiet, saying only a few words, or not speaking at all.
