Is it hard for others to understand your child's words? Do speech sounds come out inconsistently or inaccurately when your child's speaks? Is your child struggling to say their Rs, Ls, Ks, Vs, or any other speech sound?
Speech sound therapy focuses on teaching your child to use their speech muscles to make speech sounds accurately and combine them into clearer words.
During speech sound therapy, we teach your child to master their sounds. We build your child's ability to correct their own speech and support their muscle memory for accurate speech.
Is it hard for your child to put sentences together? Does your child say only a handful of words? Do they use words in confusing ways or struggle to communicate clearly with you?
Language therapy focuses on building your child's language learning abilities and strengthening their overall language use. Our goal is to support your child so they can express their wants, needs, ideas, and feelings as effectively as possible!
In our language therapy sessions, we support vocabulary growth, grammar development, and meaningful use of spoken words and phrases. We use a variety of activities and approaches to increase your child's command of language.
Does your child want to communicate, but speech sounds won’t come out? Is it hard for your child to control their speech muscles? Are your child’s needs not fully met by their current speech abilities?
Many children benefit from AAC as additional avenues toward communication.
AAC – augmentative and alternative communication – is an umbrella term that covers many forms of non-speech language production.
AAC supports reliable, independent communication and do not slow down or impede spoken language learning. Children who need AAC use these systems to share their wants, needs, and ideas when their speech does not allow them to do so.
Did you know that caregiver speech and communication style are two of the most important factors for your child to develop their speech and language? Do you want to know the most effective ways to directly support your child's communication? Have you heard lots of advice but are unsure what will benefit your child the most?
Caregiver Communication Coaching is included as part of every therapy plan to grow your everyday language-teaching toolkit as your child makes progress in their own skills!
Coaching develops your knowledge of how speech and language works and why breakdowns happen for your child. We design activities and exercises together that help your child extend their therapy success to all settings and all conversation partners.
