Speech Therapy
The goal of speech therapy is to improve overall communication abilities (speech, understanding and expressing language, nonverbal skills), giving children the ability to express their basic needs and wants.
There are several common disorders that may affect communication skills. Our
speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are trained to help you understand what causes communication obstacles and how best to overcome them.
