Speech-Language Therapy

Speech-Language Therapy focuses on improving a child’s production of speech sounds, words, and phrases as well as their ability to understand and express language. Services may also focus on improving communication using various forms of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), such as sign language, picture communication, and speech-generating devices.  Speech-Language Pathologists utilize evidence-based strategies to evaluate and provide skilled therapy to children with a variety of different needs and ability levels.
