Speech Therapy in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

What speech-language therapy does for autistic children, and how to find and fund it in Pittsburgh and Allegheny County.

Speech-language therapy is one of the most widely used and least controversial autism supports. For many autistic children it's about far more than speech sounds — it's about communication in the fullest sense, including augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) for children who are minimally speaking or nonspeaking.

This page covers what speech therapy involves, how to find a provider in Pittsburgh, and how coverage works.
