Speech Therapy for Autistic Kids in Rochester

Speech therapy is one of the most common and useful supports for autistic children - and it is about communication in every form, not just talking. A good speech-language pathologist works on whatever helps your child connect, including gestures, picture systems, and AAC devices.

Rochester has local pediatric speech options, which spares many families a drive to the Twin Cities. The usual challenges are waitlists and sorting out funding.
