Oregon Neurology | Springfield

At Oregon Neurology in Springfield, we understand how important it is to recognize the signs of speech therapy needs in children. We believe that speech therapy is essential for autistic children, as they often have difficulty with social communication. Speech therapy can help teach communication skills such as responding to questions, changing conversation topics and understanding body language. It’s also important to start speech therapy as early as possible, as there is a critical period in the brain for language development. If your child struggles with speaking, they may be quiet, only say a few words, or not speak at all.
