Speech & Hearing Associates | Denville

At Speech & Hearing Associates in Denville, we understand how important it is to recognize when your child needs speech therapy. If your child has been diagnosed with autism, speech therapy is almost always recommended since many people with autism struggle with social communication. Speech therapy focuses on language and communication skills like responding to questions, starting conversations, changing topics, and understanding body language. It is especially important for recently diagnosed children to receive speech therapy as early as possible, as there is a critical period in the brain for language development. If your child is very quiet, has only a few words, or is non-verbal, it may be an indication that they need speech therapy. To learn more about what speech therapy can do for your child, we invite you to read our complete guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy.
