Pediatric speech, language and feeding therapy
Building confidence in our future generation to make their voices heard.
Areas of Specialty
Speech
Difficulty with producing clear speech sounds may present as utilizing a sound in place of another, having difficulty planning and executing speech sounds, leaving out sounds, and generally having a hard time being understood by others.
Expressive Language
The ability to generate age-appropriate phrase and sentence-level utterances may be hindered by producing errors in grammar, use of gestures, asking questions, or learning songs and rhymes.
Receptive Language
Difficulties in the area of receptive language present as challenges in understanding communication (spoken, gesture or otherwise).
Stuttering
Stuttering is characterized by interruptions in the flow of spoken utterances. These interruptions may be perceived as atypical rate and rhythm. An individual may also produce repetitions of sounds, syllables within words, and phrases.
Feeding
A child with a feeding disorder may present with a limited diet, refusal to try new foods, and, in some cases, concerns regarding their physical growth.
Early Intervention
Early intervention is therapy that is designed for children birth to three years of age and targets play skills, early development of speech and language and social communication.
