The Pediatric Development Center | Rockville

At The Pediatric Development Center in Rockville, MD, we understand that it can be difficult to tell if your child needs speech therapy. Are you wondering if your child needs speech therapy? Speech therapy is recommended for autistic children to help them with social communication and communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, using gestures, understanding other people’s body language, and more. Early intervention for autistic children often includes speech therapy as it is important to teach language and communication skills as soon as possible. If your child is very quiet, says only a few words, or doesn’t speak at all, it may be an indication that they need speech therapy. Our team of experts is here to help guide you through the process and answer any questions you may have. Learn more about speech therapy in our complete guide.
