Matheny Center of Medicine & Dentistry

At Matheny Center of Medicine & Dentistry, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child requires speech therapy. If you suspect that something may be amiss, we recommend speaking to your child’s pediatrician or physician. Speech therapy is often recommended for autistic children, as they can struggle with social communication. Even very verbal children may need help with communication skills, such as responding to questions, beginning or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, or understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is an important part of early intervention for autistic children, and helps them to become more confident and independent. To help guide you through this process, we have created a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy. Visit our website for more information.
