Speech and language therapy helps children who have difficulties with communication skills. Therapy may be aimed at difficulties in expressive language (learning to use words and gestures or putting words together), receptive language (understanding the meaning of words and concepts), articulation (proper pronunciation of words) and fluency (sounds, and the smooth flow of words and phrases).
Our Speech-Language Pathologist will assess your child’s speech and language skills, and determine what areas need improvement. A Communicative Disorders Assistant will work one-on-one with your child, and provide suggestions for activities to work on at home. As a parent, you will observe and participate in all sessions so that you can practice techniques at home. The practice of skills introduced in therapy is vital to your child’s success.
