St. Mary's Pediatric Rehab

At St. Mary’s Pediatric Rehab, we understand how important it is to ensure that your child is receiving the proper support and therapy. If you’re concerned about your child’s communication skills, you may want to consider speech therapy. Speech therapy is almost always recommended for autistic children since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if a child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they might need to work on communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversation, changing conversation topics, using gestures like pointing, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention for autistic children and is usually the starting place for recently diagnosed kids. It might be obvious when a child struggles with speaking —they are very quiet, say only a few words, or don’t speak at all.
