Houston Methodist Orthopedics & Sports Medicine | Nassau Bay

At Houston Methodist Orthopedics & Sports Medicine | Nassau Bay, we understand that it can be difficult to determine if your child needs speech therapy. If you suspect your child may need speech therapy, there are a few key things to look out for, such as difficulty responding to questions, difficulty starting or ending conversations, difficulty changing conversation topics, difficulty understanding others’ body language, and difficulty using gestures. Speech therapy is especially important for autistic children, as it helps them develop language and communication skills as early as possible. If you’re unsure if your child requires speech therapy, our team of experts can help guide you through the process. Visit our website for our complete guide to speech therapy and learn more about how we can help your child develop effective communication skills.

We strive to provide your child with the best speech therapy available so that they can communicate confidently.
