NESCA (Neuropsychology and Education Services for Children and Adolescents) | Newton

At NESCA (Neuropsychology and Education Services for Children and Adolescents) in Newton, we understand that deciding if your child needs speech therapy can be a difficult decision. Speech therapy is almost always recommended for autistic children since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. If your child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they could still benefit from speech therapy to improve communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing topic, using gestures and understanding body language. Early intervention is key to language development and so, it’s important to teach language and communication skills as soon as possible if there are any delays in that area. Speech therapy can help your child learn more effective ways to communicate and grow into more independent and confident individuals. If you’re wondering if your child needs speech therapy, we’ve created a comprehensive guide to provide you with everything you need to know. At NESCA, we provide the resources and support to help your child reach their fullest potential.
