SERVICES / Speech Language Therapy

Oral Motor/Intensive Feeding Therapy: Due to medical complications, many children do not develop oral skills required to coordinate sucking and oral exploration during early development. A lack of oral skill development often leads to difficulties in feeding. We work with feeding on all levels from enteral to oral feeds. Some children are not born with feeding issues but develop feeding problems due to sensory impairments, sensory-motor impairments, or failure to thrive. These children may have oral aversion, limited food choices, poor appetite, poor intake or weight gain. After an extensive evaluation, the best individualized treatment approach is chosen and implemented.

Cognitive Therapy: Children with speech/language impairments may also have cognitive deficits. Cognitive impairments may present areas of weakness in memory, perception, reasoning/judgment, attention, and problem solving. Speech-language pathologists work with children to improve their overall “thinking” skills.

Fluency/Stuttering Therapy: Persons who stutter can be taught to use fluency enhancing techniques to reduce or eliminate the occurrences of stuttering during spontaneous speech. Vocal Therap may involve correcting abnormal pitch, loudness, resonance, and/or quality of voice that interferes with communication.

Language Therapy: Children may have difficulties comprehending and/or using spoken and written communication. Deficits may be identified in the form, content, and function of the language system. Functional language approaches focus to improve the child’s ability to communicate basic wants and needs. Improving the overall use of spontaneous communication, social skills, vocabulary improvement, syntax, and grammatical understanding and use are also commonly treated.

Articulation/Phonological Processing Therapy: This treatment corrects inappropriate productions of standard speech sounds due to incorrect placement of the lips, tongue, teeth, velum, and pharynx.
