Speech Therapy

In-home and In-Clinic Pediatric Speech Language Therapy

Although people often think of speech and language as the same thing, the terms have very different meanings.

If a child has trouble with speech, he or she struggles with the "how-to" of talking-the coordination of the muscles and movements necessary to produce speech. If the child has trouble with language, he or she struggles with understanding what he/she hears or sees.

The child may struggle to find the right words and/or organize those words in a meaningful way to communicate a message or hold a conversation.

​Therapy may also evaluate and treat children who have difficulty swallowing food or liquid.
