Pediatric Therapies

At Pediatric Therapies, we understand that it can be difficult to recognize when your child needs speech therapy. To help, we have created a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy. Our guide can help you understand the signs that may indicate your child needs speech therapy such as difficulty responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing topics, or understanding body language. Speech therapy is often a key focus in early intervention for autistic children and is important to start as early as possible in order to take advantage of the critical period in the brain for language development. With speech therapy, your child will learn effective ways to communicate and will be able to grow into a more independent and confident individual.
