Our Services
We offer comprehensive services designed to address a wide range of speech and language difficulties:
Speech Assessment: We begin with a thorough evaluation to understand the child's specific challenges. This may include difficulties with articulation (pronouncing sounds), fluency (stammering), voice (pitch, volume, quality), or language processing.
Language Assessment: Our assessments identify weaknesses in understanding spoken and written language, expressing thoughts verbally or in writing, vocabulary development, grammar, and reading comprehension. We also assess literacy skills like phonological awareness, decoding, and spelling.
Therapy: Based on the assessment results, our therapists create personalized treatment plans. Our therapy approaches are evidence-based and engaging, focusing on building skills crucial for the child's age and communication environment. We work collaboratively with parents and caregivers to ensure consistency and success both in therapy sessions and at home.

- Articulation and Phonology (making sounds correctly)
