North Valley Pediatric Therapy | Deer Valley

At North Valley Pediatric Therapy in Deer Valley, we understand how important it is to recognize if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is autistic, speech therapy is usually recommended since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if your child is verbal, they may still need to work on communication skills like: responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures, and understanding others’ body language. Speech therapy is key in early intervention for autistic children and is the starting point for recently diagnosed kids. To help your child develop language and communication skills, it is important to recognize any delays in that area and work with a speech therapist as soon as possible. Our comprehensive guide will provide you with everything you need to know about speech therapy.
