New research brings encouraging information for families of young children with Autism who are minimally speaking. A large study following 707 preschoolers found that almost 2/3 of minimally speaking children developed some amount of spoken language after participating in early intervention programs. The researchers discovered that how long a child stays in therapy often matters more than the number of hours per week they receive. Children who had stronger motor‑imitation skills—such as clapping, pointing or nodding—were more likely to make gains in spoken language.

Parents have options now to look for supportive health care choices like pediatric chiropractic to help their child maximize their potential when they notice developmental delays.  While early intervention speech-language therapy is the primary, research‑supported method for developing language, some families also explore supportive options like pediatric chiropractic care to promote comfort, body awareness, and overall well‑being during this developmental phase. Parents have found that gentle pediatric chiropractic care can help their child feel more relaxed, regulated, and ready to engage during learning.  We see this everyday in our practice.  Kids who have been going to speech therapy and have been making mild to moderate improvements suddenly accelerate their improvements after starting brain-based pediatric chiropractic care.
