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 on social pragmatic language to improve communication and foster relationships with peers through neurodiversity affirming practices. Instead of masking neurodivergent traits and trying to blend in, we help children recognize makes them unique, help them to figure out what supports they need, and teach them advocacy skills to succeed!
