Sunny Days | Staten Island

At Sunny Days in Staten Island, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is diagnosed with autism, speech therapy is typically recommended. Even if your child is very verbal, they may still benefit from speech therapy to help with communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, and understanding other people’s body language. Early intervention is key for language and communication development, so it’s important to identify any delays and begin speech therapy as soon as possible. Signs that your child may need speech therapy include being very quiet, saying only a few words, or not speaking at all.
