River Pediatric Therapies | Glenshaw

At River Pediatric Therapies in Glenshaw, we understand that knowing if your child needs speech therapy can be a difficult decision. If your child is autistic, speech therapy is almost always recommended to help with social communication. Even if your child is very verbal and speaks a lot of words, they could still benefit from therapy to improve communication skills like responding to questions, starting and ending conversations, using gestures, and understanding body language. Speech therapy is a key component of early intervention for autism and it’s important to start therapy as soon as possible. If your child is very quiet, says only a few words, or doesn’t speak at all, speech therapy may be the right choice.
