Pediatric speech and language therapy specializes in the evaluation and treatment of disorders and delays that limit a child’s ability to communicate with others and/or participate in safe and age-appropriate feeding. Speech-language therapy might be needed when a child’s communication or feeding skills limit his/her ability to function in daily activities.

 

Our pediatric speech-language pathologists specialize in helping children understand, communicate their wants and needs to others, interact with others, produce sounds correctly, speak fluently, and safely consume age-appropriate foods and liquids. 

​

Our therapists provide a comprehensive evaluation and treatment focused on skills related to:

​

• Receptive Language

• Expressive Language

• Pragmatics (social language skills during interactions with others)

• Auditory Processing

• Articulation disorders

• Phonological Delays

• Apraxia

• Dysarthria

• Fluency

• Voice

• Oral Motor/Feeding/Swallowing

​

Children who do not have the prerequisites for speech and language may require training to use an augmentative communication device.  Our pediatric speech-language pathologists are trained to assist your child in using a variety of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) Systems including but not limited to the following:

​

• High tech electronic devices

• Low tech systems such as signing

• Picture Exchange Communication Systems (PECS)
