Rockcastle Hospital and Respiratory Care Center

If you’re wondering if your child needs speech therapy, Rockcastle Hospital and Respiratory Care Center can help. Speech therapy is often recommended for children with autism to help them develop communication skills such as responding to questions, changing conversation topics, understanding body language, and more. Early intervention is critical for language development, and speech therapy can help your child learn to communicate more effectively, becoming more confident and independent. If your child has difficulty speaking, has very few words, or doesn’t speak at all, they may benefit from speech therapy. To learn more, explore our comprehensive guide to speech therapy.
