Speech & Language Services

Articulation Therapy

In the SLP world we refer to the vocal organs above the larynx that are involved in speech production as your “articulators”. Your child may need assistance in learning how to correctly position and place their articulators to produce a targeted speech sound.

Phonology Therapy

Your child may easily be able to produce a certain sound on its own, but when we combine that sound with others it could get complicated. There are not only placements of sounds but properties.  The way that we produce sounds in combination with one another and the properties associated are targeted in Phonological Therapy.

Receptive Language Therapy

Does your child struggle with following simple directions? This can affect your daily life and sometimes, their safety. We want your child to easily and effectively function in their environment.

Expressive Language Therapy

Expressive language begins to develop in infancy. Your child cries, you react. Your child coos, you react. Over time we hope that our nurturing and responding to their expressions create the basis they need for language.  Maybe your child understands everything you are saying but isn’t responding with actual words. Maybe your child is nonverbal and needs assistance in developing their nonverbal expressive language further. Regardless of your child’s need, we strive to help your child communicate FUNCTIONALLY.

Pragmatics & Social Skills Therapy

Contributing to a social situation appropriately can be a struggle for many children. In different environments and with different people there are different unspoken rules. As we develop we learn to understand nonverbal cues such as body language, facial expressions and tone of voice. For many children learning these cues along with the associated “rules” is a lot to ask. Now throw a pandemic in the mix and we only communicate through screens?! We want to help your child transition!

Dysfluency Therapy

Also known as stuttering, dysfluency can pose an inhibition on a child’s educational and social experiences. Our goal is to help your child understand the patterns and types of the dysfluencies they may be experiencing while helping them to minimize the occurrences of their dysfluencies.

Executive Function Therapy

Executive Functioning skills are related to self-regulation. These skills aide in planning, focusing, coping and maintaining when having multiple things to do at once. As they grow they are expected to organize and maintain themselves more often. For this reason it becomes more important that these skills are strengthened. We provide fun ways to cultivate these skills to help your child’s skills become FUNctional.

Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS)

Sometimes referred to as Dyspraxia or Developmental Apraxia, Childhood Apraxia of Speech is a breakdown in communication between the area of the brain that says “SAY IT” and the child’s actual articulators. Using imitation techniques as well as Kaufman’s approach to helping children with motor speech disorders, our goal is to help your child develop functional communication.
