HOW CAN WE HELP YOU
Therapies We Offer
We offer a wide range of speech therapy services including speech, language, feeding, as well as oral-motor and orofacial myofunctional treatment.
Speech and Language
Therapy
If you’ve been told your child needs speech therapy, that could mean so many different things! We treat and assess various communication disorders including articulation errors, language delays, feeding difficulties, and impacted social skills.
Oral Motor and Orofacial
Myofunctional Treatment
Oral motor impairment can affect feeding and speech development. When the muscles of the face are impacted, the mouth and face can’t function properly. These can be either from birth (congenital) or from some sort of trauma (acquired).
Feeding Therapy
Feeding and eating isn’t always easy for kids. A pediatric feeding disorder can be difficult for the entire family. We are here to minimize its effects and make eating a fun part of your day again with specialized therapy that slowly introduces new foods or eating/swallowing patterns.
