Speech Therapy

Every child deserves a voice.

Our highly-trained speech-language pathologists work with children on a wide range of speech and communication issues. We believe the involvement of everyone who cares for your child is an important part of the speech therapy process. We collaborate with parents, caregivers, teachers, pediatricians and other professionals to achieve the best outcomes for your child.

SPEECH & LANGUAGE EVALUATIONS

A recent evaluation is essential prior to the initiation of treatment. Evaluations provide baseline data, establish goals and are used to track progress. During an evaluation the following areas can be assessed: speech, language (receptive and expressive), oral-motor and feeding.

SOCIAL SKILLS

Our therapists work to improve communication and foster relationships with peers. We incorporate movement to keep children engaged and learning and use the renowned Social Thinking curriculum when appropriate.
