Many children become frustrated when they struggle to be understood. This often results in challenging behaviors. Speech/language therapy that is specific to the needs of the child can significantly improve the quality of life for not only the child, but the entire family as well. We offer pediatric services that include birth through school age. We can address:
Feeding (nursing infants, picky toddlers, etc)
Speech Sound Disorders
Phonological disorders
Childhood apraxia of speech
Articulation disorders
Mixed speech sound disorders

Parent/caregiver education inclues guidance and support related to the speeech/language needs of their child/loved one. There will be a few minutes built in to the end of the therapy sessions to inform the parent/caregiver on how the session went and what they can do at home to practice. This helps to facilitate:
Generalization of skills
Faster progress
Reduced frustrations

Neurolinguistic disorders (i.e., aphasia)
