At Vivage Senior Living | Wheat Ridge | Wheatridge Manor Care Center, we understand how important it is to identify whether your child needs speech therapy. If your child is displaying any of the following communication difficulties, it might be worth considering speech therapy: responding to questions, starting or ending conversation, changing conversation topics, using gestures like pointing, and understanding other people’s body language. Early intervention for autistic children typically focuses on speech therapy, as it is critical for language development in the brain. Our comprehensive guide will help you learn more about speech therapy and how it can help your child grow into a more independent and confident individual.

At Vivage Senior Living Wheat Ridge Wheatridge Manor Care Center, our experienced speech therapists are dedicated to helping your child communicate effectively, whether through gestures, simple signs, verbal speech, or Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). Our speech therapists can help your child with nonverbal skills, forming speech in a clearer way, communicating thoughts and feelings, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions and their corresponding emotions, noticing and understanding body language, and feeding and swallowing. We strive to provide you and your child the tools necessary to foster a successful and fulfilling communication experience.
