Who Would Benefit from Speech Therapy?
Our speech therapy services help children with a wide range of communication challenges
Articulation & Speech Sound Disorders
Support for children who have difficulty producing certain sounds or making their speech easy to understand. Therapy teaches accurate sound production through engaging, age appropriate activities.
Receptive and Expressive Language Challenges
Help for children who struggle to understand language, follow directions, or use words and sentences to express themselves. Therapy builds comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, and communication skills.
Stuttering & Fluency Disorders
Care for children who repeat sounds, get stuck on words, or show tension when speaking. Therapy builds confidence and teaches strategies that support smoother, more relaxed speech.
Social Communication Difficulties
Support for children who need help with conversation skills, understanding social cues, or forming connections with peers. Therapy builds social awareness, turn taking, perspective taking, and functional communication within social interactions.
Voice Disorders
Therapy uses exercises and techniques to improve vocal quality, comfort, and function for issues like hoarseness, vocal fatigue, nodules, or post-surgery recovery, teaching better breath support, pitch, loudness, and relaxation for a healthier voice.
Apraxia of Speech
Specialized therapy for children who know what they want to say but struggle to coordinate the movements needed for speech. Treatment uses evidence based intervention to improve motor planning and speech clarity.
AAC (Alternative and Augmentative Communication)
Support for children who need tools such as communication boards or speech generating devices to express themselves. Therapy helps families choose and use AAC systems that support meaningful communication.
Oral Motor Delays
Help for children with low tone, weakness, or difficulty coordinating the muscles used for speech. Therapy strengthens oral movements that support clear speech production.
Cleft Palate & Craniofacial Anomalies
Therapy for children who experience speech differences related to structural differences. Treatment focuses on resonance, articulation, airflow, and improving overall speech clarity.
Selective Mutism
Support for children who speak comfortably in some settings but feel unable to speak in others due to anxiety. Therapy builds confidence, reduces pressure, and supports communication in a step by step way.
Gestalt Language Processing
Help for children who learn language in larger phrases or scripts before using individual words. Therapy supports natural language development by honoring their learning style and helping them move toward flexible, self generated communication.
Autism Spectrum Disorder
Individualized support for communication, social interaction, play, and language development. Therapy builds connection, engagement, and functional skills using neurodiversity affirming approaches.
Dyslexia & Reading Challenges
Help for children who struggle with reading, spelling, or sounding out words. Therapy targets phonological awareness, decoding, and language skills that support strong literacy development.
Dysarthria
Care for children whose speech sounds slurred or weak due to muscle weakness or neurological conditions. Therapy improves strength, breath support, and clarity to enhance communication.
Late Talkers
Support for toddlers who are developing words more slowly than expected. Therapy focuses on building early vocabulary, encouraging communication, and supporting families with easy to use strategies at home.
