The Center for Precious Minds | Naples

At The Center for Precious Minds, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. While speech therapy is almost always recommended for autistic children, it can also be beneficial for children who struggle with communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy can help your child to learn effective ways to communicate, grow into more independent and confident individuals and improve their language development. If you’re unsure if your child needs speech therapy, our complete guide to speech therapy can help you make an informed decision.

At The Center for Precious Minds in Naples, we understand that speech therapy can provide a range of invaluable benefits for your child.
