Language Therapy

Language therapy improves skills that are crucial for communication. Our therapists teach children new vocabulary and how to use their knowledge to express their needs and feelings, answer questions and follow directions, and participate in conversations with others.

What are Language Delays & Disorders?

Studies show that nearly 10% of preschool-aged children experience language delays, making them quite common. If your child isn’t meeting the language developmental milestones appropriate for their age, seems to be progressing at a slower pace than their peers, is showing signs of difficulty expressing themselves or comprehending others, they may have a language delay.

Areas of Focus for Language Disorders Include:

The ability to listen, comprehend, and follow verbal instructions
Proficiency in grammar and ability to form complete sentences
Knowledge of vocabulary including the ability to understand words spoken to them, recall, and say those words themselves
The ability to ask questions and answer questions in a variety of structures
Social language skills (pragmatics) including the ability to interact with other and follow social rules of conversation and play
Reading and writing, or pre-reading skills such as book handling, recognizing print, vocabulary, and the ability to follow words on a page

This approach ensures that each child receives our undivided attention with personalized lesson plans that maximize their opportunity for growth and improvement.

Choose from Multiple Location Options

Our speech-language pathologists take appointments in a variety of locations, allowing parents to choose a setting that is most conducive to their child’s learning style. Location options include in-house clinic appointments, home visits, daycare visits, and availability at the schools and hospitals we hold exclusive contracts with.

Ongoing Care and Support Up to 18 Years Old

While many children successfully overcome speech and feeding challenges, some require routine support throughout their grade school years to enhance their skills. If you believe your child would benefit from regular attention, we can establish a custom schedule and frequency of sessions that ensure your child continues to improve and their progress stays on track.

Leading with a Neurodiversity-Affirming Approach.

Our speech-language pathologists have experience working with neurodivergent children in the following areas of treatment:

Diverse methods of communication that can supplement or compensate for the limitations and challenges faced by individuals with severe expressive communication disorders. These methods serve as temporary or permanent solutions to overcome impairments and disabilities in their ability to communicate effectively.
The Kaufman Speech to Language Protocol (K-SLP) is a well-supported approach used for assessing and treating childhood apraxia of speech (CAS), as well as other speech-sound disorders and expressive language difficulties. This protocol relies on evidence-based practices to guide evaluation and intervention processes.
Language Acquisition through Motor Planning (LAMP)™ is a therapeutic methodology that incorporates motor learning principles and a voice output communication aid. It aims to provide non-verbal individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities a means to cultivate autonomous and natural communication. LAMP™ offers a structured approach that fosters the development of independent and spontaneous communication skills.
The Beckman Oral Motor Intervention Protocol uses assisted movement and stretch reflexes to assess and measure the response to pressure and movement, as well as the range, strength, variety, and control of movement in the lips, cheeks, jaw, tongue, and soft palate.
