Skidmore Speech and Language Services

If you are unsure if your child needs speech therapy, Skidmore Speech and Language Services can help. Our experienced team of specialists can evaluate your child’s communication skills and provide guidance on the best course of action for their development. Speech therapy is often recommended for children with autism, as many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Speech therapy can help your child learn how to respond to questions, start and end conversations, use body language and gestures, and understand what others are saying. Early intervention is essential for language development, so it’s important to start speech therapy as early as possible. If your child is very quiet, has limited vocabulary, or does not speak at all, it may be time to consider speech therapy. For more information on speech therapy, take a look at our comprehensive guide.
