Speech therapy supports children who have difficulty using words to communicate their thoughts and needs (expressive language), understanding spoken or written language (receptive language), or producing clear speech sounds (articulation). When children struggle to understand or express themselves, frustration can occur and may lead to behaviors such as crying, tantrums, hitting, biting, or throwing objects.
For school-aged children, speech and language challenges may impact learning, including difficulty following classroom directions, developing reading skills, or interacting appropriately with peers. Early and effective support can improve communication, confidence, and participation across settings.
Our speech-language pathologists treat a wide range of pediatric speech and language disorders using evidence-based, child-friendly techniques. Therapy supports articulation, language development, and social communication. We also specialize in motor speech disorders, including childhood apraxia of speech. Each plan of care is individualized to help children communicate more effectively and successfully in their everyday environments.
