Molly Thompson M.S. CCC-SLP

At Molly Thompson M.S. CCC-SLP, we understand how important it is to recognize if your child needs speech therapy. Many children with autism have difficulty with social communication, so speech therapy is often recommended. Even if your child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they might need to work on communication skills. Speech therapy is also a great way to teach language and communication skills during the critical period for language development. It can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy, but signs such as being very quiet, saying only a few words, or not speaking at all can indicate that a child might need help. To learn more about the importance of speech therapy and how to recognize if your child needs it, please refer to our guide.
