Speech Therapy

What is Speech Therapy?

Pediatric Speech Therapy is a clinical service provided to children who have deficits in the areas of communication, oral motor, feeding/swallowing, or hearing. The Speech Language Pathologist works closely with the child and his or her parents to achieve their optimal potential so that they can participate more fully in daily living activities, community settings, and family interactions.
