Spark Speech and Language Therapy

At Spark Speech and Language Therapy, we understand that it can be difficult to determine if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is autistic, they will almost always benefit from speech therapy, as many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if your child is very verbal, they may need to work on communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, or understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is a critical part of early intervention for autistic children and is usually the first place to start for recently diagnosed children. With our help, your child will learn effective ways to communicate which will help them develop into more independent and confident individuals. If your child struggles with speaking, is very quiet, or says only a few words, then it’s likely that they need speech therapy.
