At Tri-Counties Regional Center in Santa Maria, we understand that it can be difficult to tell if your child needs speech therapy. Speech therapy is often recommended for autistic children, as they can have difficulty with social communication. Even if a child is very verbal, they might need help with communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, and understanding body language. Speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention for autistic children and can be an important part of their development. If your child struggles with speaking, it might be time to seek help from a speech therapist.
