​Speech therapy addresses challenges with language and communication. Issues with communication and speech vary from person to person. Some children might not be able to speak at all. Other children love to talk, but may have a hard time holding a conversation, or understanding facial expressions and body language. Our speech therapists work hard to come up with fun activities that motivate the children to participate.
