Areas of Specialization

Speech

Articulation focuses on the production of speech sounds. This may involve targeting individual phonemes- such as the /r/ or /s/. Intervention can be tailored to correct a single sound or to enhance overall intelligibility, ensuring clear communication with family and friends.

Language & Cognition

Language is a building block of speech and is how we choose to communicate. Addressing language involves learning how to follow directions, communicate wants and needs, enhance reading comprehension, formulating sentences, and increasing overall communication skills (e.g., gestures, verbalizations, or utilizing augmentative and alternative communication) to successfully access natural environments. The areas of cognition include problem-solving, memory, self-regulation, attention, and perception. Who might benefit from focusing on cognition in speech therapy? This approach can help children who have difficulty with everyday communication and learning!

Fluency

Fluency disorders can manifest as stuttering or cluttering, characterized by disruptions in the flow of speech. The main types of dysfluencies include repetitions, prolongations, interjections, and blocks. Treatment for fluency disorders may involve learning strategies to minimize dysfluencies, reducing avoidance behaviors in communication, and gaining insight into when dysfluencies occur, ultimately fostering confidence in communication.

Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can impair language, cognition, and communication. Specialized interventions address cognitive-communication challenges such as memory, attention, emotional regulation, and problem-solving to help individuals regain effective communication for safe community integration.

Childhood Feeding Therapy

Mealtimes shouldn’t be stressful. If your child struggles with eating, we’re here to help. Whether it is picky eating, anxiety around food or oral aversions our therapy is designed to make mealtimes easier.
