Adrienne Peters, Speech/Language Therapist

At Adrienne Peters, Speech/Language Therapist, we recognize that it can be difficult to understand if your child needs speech therapy. If your child is autistic, speech therapy is often recommended as many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if your child is very verbal and able to express themselves, they may need to work on communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing topics, using gestures and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is an important part of early intervention for children with autism and can help them to become more independent and confident individuals. If you think your child may require speech therapy, we have created a complete guide to help you understand the process and make an informed decision. We believe that language development is critical and so, it’s essential to start therapy as soon as possible if there are any delays.
