At The Macomb-Oakland Regional Center (MORC) in Southfield, Michigan, we understand how important it is to determine if your child needs speech therapy. Speech therapy is often recommended for autistic children as they often have difficulty with social communication. Signs that your child may need speech therapy include difficulty responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, and understanding other people’s body language. Early intervention is important when it comes to language development and so, it’s important to teach language and communication skills as early as possible if there are any delays in that area. Our guide to speech therapy will provide you with everything you need to know to help your child grow into an independent and confident individual.
