Our goal is to help your child gain confidence in communication with others while simultaneously improving their abilities and overcoming deficits. We do this by creating a fun learning environment tailored to each individual’s particular needs.
What is the process?
First we will provide a comprehensive speech and language evaluation in order to assess current abilities and create a plan of care and goals to best help your child.
Next we will establish a plan of frequency to provide speech and language services that will work best for your child.

- Receptive: This includes problems with understanding or processing language.
- Expressive: This includes problems with putting words together, having a limited vocabulary, or being unable to use language in a socially appropriate way.
Fluency: These include problems such as stuttering, in which the flow of speech is interrupted by unusual stops, partial-word repetitions (“b-b-boy”), or prolonging sounds and syllables (sssssnake).
Feeding Therapy: This addresses disorders focused on the way someone eats or drinks. They include problems with chewing and swallowing, coughing, gagging, and refusing foods.
