Speech / Language Therapy

What is speech and language therapy?  Speech therapy focuses on developing and improving two primary forms of communication – receptive language and expressive language. Receptive language has to do with the ability to understand words spoken to you, and expressive language has to do with the ability to use words to express yourself.

Depending on the child’s age and Individualized Education Program (IEP), speech therapy may also include auditory training, pre-linguistics, articulation, pragmatics, oral motor, feeding, and swallowing treatments.

Therapy sessions are designed to meet the unique needs of each individual with the goal of improving their quality of life and how it pertains to their communication skills. Speech pathologists work with the patient, family and treatment team to develop functional communication and improved speech.
