Progressive Pediatric Therapy | Lake Worth

At Progressive Pediatric Therapy in Lake Worth, we understand that it can be difficult to know when your child needs speech therapy. A common indication is if they are diagnosed with autism, as many autistic children have difficulty with social communication. Even if your child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they may need to work on communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is a critical part of early intervention for autistic children, and can also be beneficial for other language delays. With effective speech therapy, your child will learn important communication skills and gain more independence and confidence. If your child is having difficulty speaking, or if you are unsure if they need speech therapy, our guide to speech therapy can provide the answers you need. Contact us today to learn more.
