Premier Pediatric Therapy, P.A.

At Premier Pediatric Therapy, P.A., we understand how important it is to know if your child needs speech therapy. 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 may need to work on communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures like pointing, and understanding other people’s body language. Early intervention for autistic children is a big focus and speech therapy can be the starting point for recently diagnosed kids. Our complete guide to speech therapy can help you determine if your child needs speech therapy and what to do if they do. We are here to help your child learn effective ways to communicate, grow into more independent and confident individuals, and make the most of the critical period in the brain for language development.
