Articulation and Phonological Therapy
We address articulation and phonological disorders to improve speech sound production and intelligibility. Our therapists use specific techniques to target sound errors, helping children develop clear and accurate speech patterns.
Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy
We offer specialized oral motor treatment for conditions such as tongue thrust and ankyloglossia (tongue-tie). Our therapists provide targeted exercises and techniques to strengthen and coordinate the oral muscles, promoting proper swallowing patterns and improving speech production.
Voice Disorders
If your child is experiencing a voice disorder, we assess vocal quality, pitch, and resonance to develop individualized treatment plans. Our goal is to help children develop a healthy and effective voice, addressing concerns such as vocal nodules, vocal cord dysfunction, and vocal misuse.
Stuttering/Fluency
Our therapists take an acceptance-based approach to stuttering, utilizing evidence-based techniques to help children self-advocate and build confidence in their abilities. Once a child develops self-awareness of their stutter, if it’s important to and indicated by them, we develop a toolbox of strategies to adjust their fluency and/or experience of stuttering.
Language Development
We focus on enhancing language skills, including vocabulary, grammar, sentence structure, and comprehension. Through interactive and play-based activities, we promote language growth, encourage expressive and receptive language abilities, and foster effective communication in various contexts.
AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication)
If your child is facing challenges in verbal communication, our team of dedicated speech-language pathologists is here to provide support. We specialize in identifying and implementing effective alternative communication strategies, including the utilization of speech-generating devices and various Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) tools. Prior to initiating therapy, our skilled therapists will conduct a thorough AAC evaluation and guide you through the process of acquiring the ideal AAC device tailored to your child’s needs. Moreover, our expert therapists will empower both you and your child in their therapy sessions with the knowledge and skills needed to make the most of this communication aid.
