Southern New England Rehab Center

At Southern New England Rehab Center, we understand how important it is to be aware of your child’s speech and communication needs. We can help you determine if speech therapy is necessary for your child, by offering a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy. Speech therapy is often recommended for autistic children as many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. It’s important to note that even if a child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they may still need to work on communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy can be a critical part of early intervention for autistic children and can help them to become more independent and confident individuals. If you’re unsure if your child would benefit from speech therapy, our guide will provide you with all the information you need. Contact us today to learn more about our speech therapy services.
