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.
