Our Services
Transforming lives through speech, language, and feeding therapy.
Speech Sound Disorders
A speech sound disorder is when your child either says sounds incorrectly, or omits sounds from words. This can be diagnosed as articulation disorder, phonological disorder, or childhood apraxia of speech depending on the symptoms. Your clinician will use different approaches based on the type of speech sound disorder to help your child make progress.
Language Disorders
Expressive language disorder or delay is when your child has trouble using language to communicate efficiently. A receptive language disorder or delay is when your child has difficulty understanding spoken language
AAC Device Use
AAC, or Augmentative and Alternative Communication, is any type of communication besides speaking that a person uses to communicate. For some children, this includes speech generating devices, or AAC devices. Your clinician can help teach your child to use their device to communicate. Parent training is a very important component of AAC use!
