Spaulding Outpatient Center Wellesley

At Spaulding Outpatient Center Wellesley, we understand that parents may be unsure if their child needs speech therapy. If your child is autistic, speech therapy is almost always recommended to help with social communication. Even if a child is very verbal, they may need to work on communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing topics, using gestures, and understanding body language. Speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention for autistic children and is often the starting place for recently diagnosed kids due to the critical period in the brain for language development. Your child will learn effective ways to communicate which will help them grow into more independent and confident individuals. Although it might be obvious when a child struggles with speaking, our complete guide to speech therapy provides all the information you need to know to make an informed decision.
