Overview
For over 20 years, Therapy Matters has been dedicated to helping children with developmental delays, including those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), thrive at home and in their communities. The Chandler, AZ clinic offers an integrated approach to therapy, combining Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), speech, occupational, and physical therapies, alongside home-based services like respite, habilitation, and attendant care.

Today, we honor her legacy by creating a space where clinicians are supported, families feel heard, and children reach their full potential through tailored, evidence-based interventions. At Therapy Matters, we make a lasting impact—one child, one family, and one community at a time.
