Free Speech Clinic for kids 12 - 24 months old diagnosed with pdd/autism (Boston)

[Guest guest]

The MGH Institute's Speech, Language and Literacy Clinic and the MGH LADDERS

program are collaborating on a small pilot intervention program for very

young children on the autism spectrum. We will be running a free clinic in

July and August once a week on Thursday mornings for 3 hours at the

Institute's Speech, Language, and Literacy Clinic in the town Navy

Yard. The focus of the clinic will be teaching parents strategies for

facilitating early communication skills in children between the ages of 12

and 24 months who have been identified as on the autism spectrum. A

multi-disciplinary team of 5 clinicians and 7 graduate students will work

with the children and their parents. We have space for 5 children.

Interested individuals should contact Lesley Maxwell, M.S.,CCC-SLP, Director

of the Speech, Language, and Literacy Clinic at:
