Speech-Language Therapy
Successful communication, verbal or non-verbal, is critical to social, emotional and academic development. When a child is growing up, their speech and language gives them access to the world and people around them. They learn to communicate with other people, and shape their own thoughts with words. Some children struggle with this. This can be because their speech isn’t clear, or because their language development needs a helping hand. Our highly skilled clinicians are dedicated to helping your child become an effective and confident communicator. To see each therapist’s specialty area see our team.
DEVELOPMENTAL AREAS WE ADDRESS
Our speech-language therapy is play-based and intervention is always individualized to meet the child's needs. We understand that communication is learned best through functional social interactions. These areas are addressed through developmental, engaging play-based activities that encourage communication and relationships with others for children as young as one year old and up through the teenage years.
Parents come to us to help their child with skills like:
early language expression and understanding
pre-literacy and literacy skills like reading, writing and spelling
stuttering
articulation to speak more clearly
executive functions for planning, following multi-step instructions and organization
auditory processing for listening skills
social skills to make and maintain friendships
oral motor skills for problem feeders
