Articulation Therapy
Articulation therapy will help your kiddo improve their ability to produce speech sounds. If you notice your child is sometimes difficult to understand or struggles to correctly produce certain sounds, schedule a consultation to discuss if your child would benefit from articulation treatment.
Receptive and Expressive Language Therapy
Receptive language is one’s ability to comprehend language, whereas expressive language is how one uses language to express their thoughts, wants, and needs. If your child has a hard time communicating, schedule a consultation to discuss if they might benefit from receptive and/or expressive language therapy. Here is a list of common language skills I treat:
-answering questions
-following directions
-reading comprehension
-vocabulary
-planning and sequencing
-improving syntax (grammar)
*This list is not comprehensive. If your child struggles with a skill not on this list, reach out to discuss if it might be something we can target in language therapy.
Fluency Therapy
Stuttering is a chronic disorder that can be managed with what we call fluency enhancing and stuttering modification techniques. Additionally, I have found it important to incorporate the emotional aspect of stuttering by supporting a child’s confidence in their speech and ability to utilize their tools. If you are concerned your child might have a fluency disorder, please reach out to discuss if they might benefit from fluency therapy.
