Speech, Language and Swallowing Therapy

Speech-Language Pathologists focus on the development or regaining of communication skills and the overall function of the oral cavity. This can include receptive/expressive language skills, other cognitive skills, oral-motor abilities, targeting muscle weakness for articulation, and feeding/swallowing. Speech-Language Pathologists can also treat sensory integration, central auditory processing, comprehension involving speech and language, voice disorders and other oral motor impairments.  Speech-Language Pathologists help families in learning techniques for success at home and for everyday living.

Children that may benefit from speech therapy have diagnoses that would include, but not limited to:

– Austism/Asperger’s
– Cerebral Palsy
– Down Syndrome
– Genetic Disorders
– Hearing loss
– “late talkers”
– Spina Bifida
