Spaulding Eileen M. Ward Outpatient Center for Children Sandwich

At Spaulding Eileen M. Ward Outpatient Center for Children Sandwich, we understand that it can be difficult to determine if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is autistic, speech therapy is almost always recommended. Speech therapy can help children with communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending a conversation, changing conversation topics, and understanding body language. Early intervention with speech therapy is especially important for language development, as there is a critical period in the brain for language development. If your child struggles with speaking, is very quiet, or only says a few words, speech therapy can help them become more independent and confident.
