Professional Therapies | Christiansburg

At Professional Therapies in Christiansburg, we understand that it can be difficult to know when your child needs speech therapy. If your child is on the autism spectrum, speech therapy is almost always recommended to help with social communication. Even if your child is verbal and says a lot of words, they may still benefit from speech therapy to learn how to respond to questions, start and end conversations, change conversation topics, use gestures, and understand people’s body language. Early intervention is important for language development, so if you’re concerned about your child’s communication skills, it’s best to seek help as soon as possible. Our expert speech therapists can guide you and your child through appropriate treatment to help them become more independent and confident.
