We treat speech, language, voice and swallowing or feeding challenges in-person and by tele-therapy.
Infants and Toddlers
Early intervention is crucial to address speech and language delays or disorders, and speech therapy can help your child develop the communication skills they need to thrive. By receiving speech therapy services, your child can learn to communicate effectively, express their thoughts and feelings, and build strong relationships with others.
Children and Teens
By addressing speech and language difficulties early on, we can help your child or teenager develop the communication skills they need to succeed in school, social situations, and beyond. Whether your child has difficulty with articulation, fluency, or language comprehension, speech therapy services can provide the tools and techniques they need to confidently express themselves.
Adults
Recovering from a stroke, brain injury, or cancer can be a challenging journey, but speech therapy services can help make that journey smoother. These services can help with cognition, communication, and swallowing difficulties that often arise as a result of these conditions. By working with a trained speech language pathologist, you can develop the skills and techniques needed to improve your memory, attention, and problem-solving abilities.
