SPEECH THERAPY

Every child deserves to feel confident when they speak. Whether your child struggles to get words out smoothly (stuttering), has trouble saying certain sounds (articulation), or finds it hard to coordinate their mouth to form words (apraxia), speech therapy can help. A speech evaluation looks at how clearly your child produces sounds and words. If you notice your child is hard to understand, leaves off sounds, or struggles with stuttering, an evaluation can help. We identify exactly what’s happening and create a plan to build clear, confident speech. A speech therapist uses fun, motivating activities to build clear speech and boost confidence in communication.

LANGUAGE THERAPY

Language is more than words—it’s how we connect. Some children may have trouble understanding directions (receptive language), putting thoughts into words (expressive language), or using language in social situations (social pragmatics). A language evaluation checks how your child understands and uses words. This includes listening, following directions, expressing ideas, and using language in social settings. If your child is late to talk, struggles to find words, or has trouble with conversations, an evaluation helps guide the right support for stronger communication skills. Therapy helps kids learn to listen, understand, and express themselves so they can thrive at home, in school, and with friends.

READING/DYSLEXIA THERAPY

If your child struggles to read, write, or spell, it can affect confidence in every subject. A reading or dyslexia evaluation pinpoints where the difficulty lies. Literacy therapy then builds strong reading and writing foundations using evidence-based approaches. With the right support, kids can become confident, lifelong readers.

EARLY INTERVENTION

The earlier support begins, the bigger the impact. Early intervention helps little ones (birth to age 3) with speech, language, or developmental delays build strong communication skills right from the start. Therapy uses play-based strategies to encourage talking, understanding, and interaction—setting the stage for future learning and success.

FEEDING THERAPY

Mealtimes can be stressful when a child has trouble chewing, swallowing, or tolerating certain foods. Feeding therapy helps children develop safe eating skills, expand food choices, and make mealtimes more enjoyable. A speech therapist gently guides children at their own pace, making eating a positive experience for the whole family.
