At The Arc of South Florida’s Arc’s Project Thrive Centers in Florida City 1, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. Many people with autism have difficulty with social communication and so speech therapy is almost always recommended. This can include activities 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 development, so it’s important to start teaching communication skills as soon as possible. You may be able to tell if your child is struggling to speak if they are very quiet, say only a few words, or don’t speak at all.
