Speech Therapy

Speech therapy is a journey focused on understanding and improving communication challenges and speech disorders. This process, carried out by caring speech-language pathologists, uses various supportive techniques to boost communication skills. These techniques might include engaging articulation activities, language interventions, and customized approaches for each child’s unique speech or language needs. People of all ages can benefit from speech therapy, whether it’s for childhood speech challenges or support in adults recovering from issues like strokes or brain injuries.

Develop Core Life Skills

Articulation Therapy

This focuses on improving speech sound production. Our therapists work closely with children to help them pronounce sounds correctly, thus enhancing their overall intelligibility and confidence.

Language Therapy

Language therapy targets the development of receptive and expressive language skills. Through interactive activities, we promote vocabulary enrichment, sentence formation, and comprehension, enabling children to express themselves effectively and understand others better.

Fluency Therapy

For children experiencing fluency disorders such as stuttering, our therapists employ techniques to reduce dysfluencies and promote smoother, more fluent speech. We create a supportive environment where children can increase their confidence and develop strategies to overcome speech disruptions.

Feeding and Swallowing Therapy

Feeding and swallowing challenges may be present with or without speech difficulties. Our team provides specialized therapy to address these issues. We work closely with parents and caregivers to develop appropriate strategies to ensure safe and effective feeding.

Parent Coaching & School Partnership

Parent engagement with the care team and at-home reinforcement of concepts is critical to a child’s success. Your child’s care team will work with you to develop a custom curriculum plan. Occasional coaching is required for our parents to continue lessons at home to maximize intervention treatment. Full transparency and communication are an integral part of our partnership; therefore, parents have full access to all our data, and are communicated a daily basis through our encrypted texting system.

Our SLP’s are also able to work alongside your child in settings where extra support enables their success. Schools (usually private) are a typical outlet for this partnership, so as long as the school allows it, we may be able to help in that capacity. Limitations apply.

Assessments

Assessment for speech therapy is vital for identifying and understanding communication challenges. It provides a targeted diagnosis of speech and language issues, enabling therapists to create personalized intervention plans. The assessment sets realistic goals, tracks progress, and ensures tailored therapy approaches that cater to individual needs. In essence, it forms the cornerstone of effective speech therapy, helping individuals overcome communication barriers and thrive.

Your child will have a short assessment session with our SLP, Justice Stockton. In this session, they will go over a variety of questions that help the therapist determine the presence and/or severity of the impairment. The results of the evaluation will then help the SLP prescribe the therapies needed for your child.
