The Arc of Chemung | Watkins Glen

At The Arc of Chemung | Watkins Glen, we understand the importance of speech therapy for autistic children. To help you determine if your child needs speech therapy, we’ve put together a comprehensive guide. Our guide outlines common signs that indicate a need for speech therapy, such as difficulty responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing topics, and understanding body language. We also emphasize the importance of early intervention, as during this period the brain is most receptive to language development. Speech therapy can help your child develop communication skills and build confidence. With our guide, you can feel informed and empowered to make the best decisions for your child’s health.
