Brenda Peete M.S., CCC | SLP

At Brenda Peete M.S., CCC | SLP, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. Speech therapy is commonly recommended for children with autism since many of them have difficulty with social communication. Even if your child is very verbal, they may still need help with communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, and understanding body language. Early intervention is critical for language development and can help your child become more independent and confident. If your child is very quiet, says few words, or doesn’t speak at all, they may need speech therapy. To learn more, visit our comprehensive guide to speech therapy.
