Speech language therapy

Speech-language therapy is a type of therapy provided by a speech- language pathologist (SLP) to help a child learn how to produce specific speech sounds. SLPs also provide therapy for other skills, including language, fluency, voice, reading and social/pragmatics. Our programs help and guide our clients to develop the skills needed for successful communication.

Speech therapy evaluation and intervention may focus upon:

  • Aphasia
  • Apraxia and dyspraxia
  • Articulation (Lisp, Speech Sound Delay/Disorder, Phonological Processing Disorder, unintelligibility)
  • Dysarthria
  • Dyslexia
  • Language (Difficulty with expression, comprehension, processing, and written)
  • Oral-motor dysfunction
  • Pragmatics or social language skills
  • Tongue thrust (dental issues, speech sound distortions, swallowing patterns)
  • Stuttering
  • Voice disturbance
  • Caregiver education and training
