PEDIATRIC
SPEECH AND
LANGUAGE THERAPY
Pediatric speech therapy helps treat children with communication challenges, both in how they speak and how they understand communication. Speech therapy also treats oral motor concerns, such as chewing and swallowing, as well as articulation, auditory processing, and social skills. Speech disorders affect the way a person creates sounds to form words. A person with a speech disorder may have difficulty in producing speech sounds correctly, omitting, connecting, or distorting sounds, and the processes used to correctly produce speech.

How we develop these skills in children
For children, our speech pathologists typically incorporate play such as sequencing activities or language-based board games. Treatment varies per person depending on the type of speech disorder which is why our speech pathologists take the time to truly get to know you before working with you.
