Speech Therapy w/ Kristen Krapf

One of the number one symptoms of autism is the speech delays. It's often times one of the first things a parent notices, when that milestone is missed for not only first words, but also conversational language. Joining me today is Kristen Krapf, a licensed speech therapist, who provided elucidation on the process of getting therapy, and what parents can expect from those services.
