Speech Therapy for Children

Is your child lagging behind other children when it comes to talking?

Speech therapy for kids combines age-appropriate play therapy and language-development education. Our speech therapists work to ensure that each child’s language skills reach his or her appropriate levels.

Speech therapy for kids focuses on two main areas – speech therapy, which is usually understood to mean how sounds are produced, and language therapy, which includes concerns about how a child expresses himself using language, how well he understands language, reading comprehension, and other aspects related specifically to language. Many kids can benefit from speech therapy, language therapy, or both.

Speech and communication are among the most important skills children need to develop. Early intervention for children with speech and language delays can benefit them by preparing them for academic success. Speech and language skills are critical for following directions, communicating in the classroom, and developing peer relations. Speech and language competency is also an early predictor for reading readiness.
