Nicklaus Children's Palm Beach Gardens Outpatient Center

At Nicklaus Children’s Palm Beach Gardens Outpatient Center, we understand that it can be challenging to determine if your child needs speech therapy. Our team of experts is here to help. Speech therapy is almost always 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 and ending conversations, changing conversation topics and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention for autistic children and is usually the starting place for recently diagnosed kids. It’s important to teach language and communication skills as early as possible, especially if there are any delays in that area. If you think your child might need speech therapy, our guide provides everything you need to know about the therapy, including how it can help your child develop effective communication skills, become more independent and confident. Reach out to our team at Nicklaus Children’s Palm Beach Gardens Outpatient Center today to determine if your child requires speech therapy.
