Westchester Speech & Language Services, PLLC

At Westchester Speech & Language Services, PLLC, we understand that determining if your child needs speech therapy can be difficult. That’s why we’ve created this comprehensive guide to help you understand if your child is a good candidate for speech therapy. Speech therapy is almost always recommended for autistic children since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if a child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they might need to work on communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversation, changing conversation topics, using gestures like pointing, and understanding other people’s body language. Moreover, speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention for autistic children and is usually the starting place for recently diagnosed kids. If you’re unsure whether your child needs speech therapy, contact us today and our experienced professionals can help you assess your child’s needs and provide the best treatment plan for them.
