The Camelot Schools | High Road School of Bloomington

At The Camelot Schools | High Road School of Bloomington, we understand that it can be difficult to tell if your child needs speech therapy. That’s why we offer a complete guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy. This guide can help you assess whether your child needs speech therapy, as well as understand the critical period for language development and the benefits that speech therapy can provide. 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 can help your child learn effective ways to communicate, which will help them grow into more independent and confident individuals. If you think your child might need speech therapy, we invite you to explore our guide and learn more today.
