• Speech Therapy

​​

Individual speech therapy services focus on diagnosing and treating communication challenges and oral motor concerns in children. Some common characteristics of speech communication challenges include substituting one sound for another, omitting sounds in words, difficulty putting words together to form sentences or difficulty in coordinating the muscles necessary for speech production.

• Language Therapy

​​

Language is composed of both expressive and receptive components. Expressive language refers to the ability to express thoughts, feelings and ideas through verbal or written communication. Receptive language refers to the ability to understand and process language input from others. Language therapy focuses on the components of each of these areas, targeting vocabulary development, communication of thoughts and emotions, appropriate responses to both spoken and written language and overall comprehension of skills.

• Sensory Feeding Therapy

​​

Feeding therapy is for children who experience difficulty with chewing and/or swallowing food and/or liquids. This type of therapy, through the use of food chaining techniques, is also beneficial for children who eat a limited variety of foods and are considered "picky eaters."
