Speech therapy

Pediatric speech and language therapists

Children typically develop communication milestones within a predictable timeline. However, some children may demonstrate delays or differences in their ability to understand or use language for communication. They may also demonstrate difficulties with articulation, voice, feeding or swallowing.

Our pediatric speech-language pathologists are here to help! We will complete a comprehensive evaluation and work with you to develop a treatment plan to help your child reach their goals. Each plan is individualized and includes caregiver training and home programs to ensure carryover to all environments.  

Creating a comprehensive plan to help your child with speech therapy

Conditions that may affect speech, language or swallowing include:

  • Autism
  • Cleft lip/palate 
  • Developmental delays
  • Hearing loss
  • Genetic disorders such as Down syndrome
  • Learning and attention disorders
  • Stuttering 
  • Swallowing disorders
  • Neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy or traumatic brain injury
  • Voice disorders

Speech and language therapy services can help kids of all ages and abilities communicate more

Our goal is to support your child as they learn and grow. Pediatric speech therapy is more than just a service, but an opportunity to help nurture through:

Is your child progressing at the rate expected for his or her age?

Is your child progressing at the rate expected for his or her age?

Our general guidelines can help you

Please keep in mind that each child is unique and develops skills at their own rate. If you are concerned about your child’s development, a physician or therapist may be able to assist with an evaluation.
