Simply Speaking NY Speech Language Services

Simply Speaking NY Speech Language Services understands that it can be difficult to determine if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is autistic, speech therapy is almost always recommended since many autistic individuals have difficulty with social communication. Even if your child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they may need help with communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, understanding body language, and using gestures like pointing. Speech therapy is a key part of early intervention for autistic children, and is usually the starting point for those recently diagnosed. Additionally, it is important to teach language and communication skills as early as possible, as there is a critical period in the brain for language development. If your child struggles with speaking, such as being very quiet, saying only a few words, or not speaking at all, speech therapy can help them learn effective ways to communicate and grow into more independent and confident individuals.
