Stark Board of Developmental Disabilities

The Stark Board of Developmental Disabilities can help you determine if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is diagnosed with autism, speech therapy is almost always recommended as many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Speech therapy focuses on teaching language and communication skills in early intervention and can help children grow into more independent and confident individuals. Signs that your child may need speech therapy include not speaking, only speaking a few words, or difficulty understanding body language. Our guide is here to provide you with everything you need to know about speech therapy.

At Stark Board of Developmental Disabilities, our experienced speech therapists specialize in helping children with disabilities to improve their communication skills. Through individualized treatment plans, we strive to help your child achieve their communication goals, including nonverbal skills, forming speech in a clearer way, expressing thoughts and feelings, responding to questions, recognizing facial expressions and body language, and addressing any stuttering issues. With our compassionate and knowledgeable staff, we are committed to helping your child maximize their potential for successful communication.
