Speech Therapy

Speech therapy is a specialized therapy performed by speech-language pathologists to treat individuals with communication delays, communication deficits or communication disorders.

Speech-language therapists help children develop the following skill areas:

• Expressive Language
• Receptive Language
• Articulation/Speech
• Social Language
• Feeding and Swallowing
• Voice
• Oral Motor
• Auditory Processing
• Augmentative Communication

Speech Teletherapy Services

Teletherapy is a relatively new service delivery model for speech therapy; however, the research indicates that the progress of students participating in teletherapy is equal to the progress of a student receiving therapy face to face. Naturally, a student’s progress may increase or decrease due to a number of factors. Most students are motivated by technology and enjoy participating in their sessions!
