Elite DNA Behavioral Health | Jacksonville

At Elite DNA Behavioral Health in Jacksonville, we understand that knowing if your child needs speech therapy can be difficult. We want to provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision. Speech therapy is often recommended for autistic children since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. It may be beneficial if your child has difficulty responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, or understanding other people’s body language. Early intervention is key to teaching language and communication skills and can help your child grow into a more confident and independent individual. If you think your child may need speech therapy, visit our website for a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know.
