Speech & Language Therapy Services
Speech-Language Evaluations
An evaluation aids in identifying support needs and goals for therapy. Most clients need to start by having a full speech and language evaluation. If you have had an evaluation done elsewhere, please contact us regarding next steps. We may be able to accept another clinic's evaluation.
Articulation and Motor Speech Disorders
We provide support for developing clear, understandable, and functional speech using individualized treatment methods.
Augmentative and Alternative Communication
AAC includes alternative ways to communicate other than spoken words, including speech output devices, iPads, written language, sign language and gestures.
Receptive and Expressive Language
We evaluate and provide therapy for understanding and using language. Receptive and expressive language skills can be targeted through verbal speech or aided language methods.
Cognitive Communication
Adults and children may have neurological impairments, such as Aphasia, Dementia, or Traumatic Brain Injury and other brain-based communication problems. We work with people with these problems to help restore communication, memory, and thinking skills.
Fluency
Stuttering, or problems using fluent, smooth speech can cause disruption to the flow of communication. We use well-tested methods to help increase fluency, communication confidence and support the use of self advocacy and disclosure strategies
Early Literacy Skills
Children who have spoken language delays are at risk for reading and writing difficulties because spoken and written language are closely related. Pre-reading & pre-writing skills for those children are added to intervention as needed.
Pragmatics (Social Communication)
We provide support for perspective taking, advocacy, self awareness during social communication opportunities, and engaging in problem solving. We also put a strong emphasis on self determination during social communication opportunities.
