Pediatric Therapy Associates – Wake Forest

At Pediatric Therapy Associates – Wake Forest, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is on the autism spectrum, speech therapy is almost always recommended, as many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if your child is very verbal, they may need to work on communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing topics, using gestures, and understanding body language. Speech therapy is a core part of early intervention for autistic children and can help them become more independent and confident individuals. If your child struggles with speaking, it might be obvious – they may be very quiet, only say a few words, or not speak at all. To learn more about speech therapy, please read our comprehensive guide for everything you need to know.
