Pediatric speech therapy is a specialized form of speech therapy that aids children in developing and improving their communication skills, which encompass speaking, understanding language, and utilizing speech to interact with others. This therapy is particularly beneficial for children with autism spectrum disorder and addresses challenges related to feeding and swallowing disorders, as well as oral motor functions. Our experienced speech therapists work with children facing difficulties in speech, language, voice, fluency (such as stuttering), or cognitive-communication skills. Additionally, our therapists utilize specialized treatment methods, including VitalStim, Beckman Oral Motor, and TalkTools Oral Placement Therapy, to enhance pediatric therapy outcomes.
Pediatric speech therapy is essential for treating various conditions that impact children's communication skills and their ability to interact effectively. Commonly addressed issues include: speech delays, articulation disorders, language disorders, stuttering (fluency disorders), voice disorders, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), cognitive-communication disorders, feeding and swallowing disorders, Down syndrome, hearing loss, apraxia of speech (childhood apraxia of speech), selective mutism, and traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Pediatric therapy focuses on improving these communication skills, fostering social interaction, and assisting with daily activities like schoolwork, play, and self-expression. Therapy sessions are tailored to meet each child's unique needs and often incorporate engaging activities such as play, exercises, and focused speech practice.
