Speech and Language Therapy

Therapy is individualized to the child's level of need. The speech-language therapist focuses on promoting language development and helping the child to effectively communicate his/her needs.

Therapy may address articulation and oral motor concerns. It may also be designed to increase vocabulary, combine words together to form phrases, sentences and questions and to develop social use of language.

Therapy may also focus on developing a child's understanding of language, such as, following various types of directions and responding appropriately to questions. Improving listening and attending skills may also be targeted.
