Our Speech and Language Therapy Services Include:

Comprehensive Evaluations

We assess various aspects of speech and language to identify areas of strength and areas needing improvement. This thorough evaluation forms the foundation for a customized therapy plan aimed at facilitating progress in the classroom and beyond.

Articulation Therapy

Articulation refers to the way we pronounce speech sounds. As children develop spoken language, it is expected they will make speech errors, such as producing the letter /r/ as a /w/ as in saying “wabbit” for the animal “rabbit.” This is a typical part of the language development and should not be cause for alarm unless these difficulties persist beyond a developmentally appropriate stage.

Receptive and Expressive Language Therapy

Receptive language refers to understanding the communication from others in your environment, including home, school, work, and community. Receptive language also includes interpreting the non-verbal social communication of others. Poor receptive language impacts reading skills, written language, and social skills in the educational environment. Expressive language refers to the verbal and nonverbal methods used to communicate your personal wants, needs, thoughts, and ideas with others. Spoken language (verbal) and gestures and/or signing (nonverbal) are each a form of language expression. Expressive language is an essential component of daily functioning at home, school, work, and within the community.

Social (Pragmatic) Language Skills

Social communication is an essential component of daily functioning throughout the life cycle. Pragmatic language, which is also referred to as social communication, is the process of using speech and language for the purpose of socially communicating with others. Social communication is essential to express thoughts, feelings, emotions, and needs and can take place through both verbal and nonverbal means. Examples of nonverbal social language include facial expressions, gestures, and body language used during interactions with family, friends, and peers. Pragmatic skills are an important aspect of building and maintaining relationships. Peer relationships, family relationships, student/teacher relationships, and work relationships are all adversely impacted by limited pragmatic skills.
