Speech

Comprehensive speech and language evaluations are conducted using a combination of formal assessments, behavioral observations, parental report, and review of records in order to determine if a speech and/or language problem is present.

Speech and language therapy is performed to help your child improve their skills to an age-appropriate level. Therapy is based on the information obtained from a speech and language evaluation. Goals are selected to help achieve success through a carefully designed sequence of activities.

Parental involvement in the therapy is highly encouraged.  The speech language pathologist consults with parents/caregivers on an on-going basis in regards to their child’s progress.  Parental training of techniques used in therapy can improve a child’s overall success and allow the child to continue practice of skills learned in therapy outside the treatment sessions.
