These challenges can be frustrating for both children and families. With the right support, children can learn to communicate more effectively-making daily routines easier, improving social interactions, and helping them feel more confident at home, in school, and in the community.
Our speech-language pathologists work closely with your child to assess speech and language skills and create a plan for improving communication. We provide therapy for a wide range of needs, including articulation, expressive and receptive language, apraxia, phonological disorders, social communication, voice disorders and fluency.
If your pediatrician or your child’s teacher has suggested speech therapy, or if you just want to be sure your child's skills are on track, we’re here to help. Our first step is to provide a thorough, accurate evaluation of your child’s communication needs so we can create a plan tailored just for them.​
From there, our experienced speech-language pathologists use a compassionate, personalized approach to help your child develop the skills they need to communicate effectively. This may include strengthening oral muscles, improving clarity, expanding vocabulary, or introducing augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices.​
We incorporate a play based approach —utilizing toys, games, stories, and interactive activities—to keep sessions fun and motivating.
Through these strategies, children not only improve their ability to understand and express themselves but also gain confidence, independence, and stronger social skills—setting the stage for success in school, friendships, and everyday life.
