​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 encourage speech and language improvement with fun activities that motivate children participate.

​

WHEN DOES A CHILD NEED TO SEE A SPEECH LANGUAGE PATHOLOGIST?​

 

Your child may need to see a Speech Pathologist if they have trouble articulating certain sounds, are ​unable to safely eat or drink age-appropriate foods and liquids, and/or have a hard time understanding information (like directions or questions). There are many other signs your child could be showing that would indicate they may need speech therapy. Always contact your child's pediatrician first with any concerns you may have.
