The Youth Clinic | Fort Collins

At The Youth Clinic in Fort Collins, we understand that it can be difficult to determine if your child needs speech therapy. We can help you identify if your child might need speech therapy, which typically covers topics such as: responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures like pointing, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is an important part of early intervention for autistic children, and is often the starting place for those recently diagnosed. It’s important to teach language and communication skills as early as possible, as there is a critical period in the brain for language development. Our guide to speech therapy can help you learn more about this important service and how it can help your child grow into a more independent and confident individual.
