New England Neurological Associates | Salem

At New England Neurological Associates in Salem, we understand how important it is to identify if your child needs speech therapy. We can help you understand the signs and symptoms of a communication disorder, and can provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision. In our guide to speech therapy, we discuss the benefits of speech therapy for autistic children, the specific skills that may need to be addressed, and the critical period in the brain for language development. We will help you identify if your child is struggling with speaking and provide you with the resources and support you need to ensure they can communicate effectively and grow into more independent and confident individuals.

At New England Neurological Associates in Salem, we understand that speech therapy can help your child in many ways. Our speech therapists can help with the development of nonverbal skills, forming speech in a clearer way, communicating thoughts and feelings clearly, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions, noticing and understanding body language, and feeding and swallowing. Additionally, we can also help with stuttering and the use of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). Our goal is to help your child communicate effectively with other people in all environments.
