Merritt Speech and Learning

At Merritt Speech and Learning, we understand that it can be difficult to determine if your child needs speech therapy. It is often 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 such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, and understanding body language. Our trained specialists provide speech therapy to help teach effective ways to communicate, building your child’s confidence and independence. If you are unsure if your child needs speech therapy, please take a look at our comprehensive guide to learn more about this important topic.

At Merritt Speech and Learning, we specialize in helping children with their communication needs. Speech therapy can help with nonverbal skills, forming speech, communicating thoughts and feelings, understanding questions, discerning facial expressions, understanding body language, feeding, and swallowing. We strive to help your child communicate effectively in all environments and make use of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) as needed. Our goal is to provide the highest quality of speech therapy services to ensure your child reaches their fullest potential.
