Speech-language therapy is the treatment for most children with speech, Feeding and/or language disorders. A speech disorder refers to a problem with the actual production of sounds, whereas a language disorder refers to a difficulty understanding or putting words together to communicate ideas. Our therapists are professionals educated in the study of human communication, oral-motor anatomy, its development, and its disorders. They hold at least a master's degree and state certification/licensure in the field, as well as a certificate of clinical competency from the American Speech-Hearing-Association.     

Children may need Speech-Language Therapy for a number of reasons, including but not limited to: hearing impairments, cognitive or other developmental delays, weak oral muscles, autism, respiratory problems, swallowing disorders, etc. By assessing the speech, language, cognitive-communication, and swallowing skills of children, our speech-language pathologists can determine what types of communication problems exist and the best way to treat these challenges.


Our therapists use language intervention activities such as the use of pictures, books, objects, communication boards, or ongoing events to stimulate language development and may use different models of practice...
