We work passionately to help your child communicate and understand.

Children with language disorders have difficulty understanding and/or producing language, spoken or written, at the expected age levels. A receptive language disorder refers to a difficulty understanding language and trouble comprehending what they hear or read. Expressive language disorder refers to difficulty talking or expressing ideas.

A language disorder can affect every person at every age and every facet of life. It can affect you socially, academically, and at work. Don't let your language disorder go untreated any longer.

This is not a hearing problem.

Auditory processing disorder (APD), also known as central auditory processing disorder (CAPD), is a hearing problem that affects about 5% of school-aged children.  Kids with this condition can't process what they hear in the same way other kids do because their ears and brain don't fully coordinate. Something interferes with the way the brain recognizes and interprets sounds, especially speech.  With the right therapy, kids with APD can be successful in school and life. Early diagnosis is important, because when the condition isn't caught and treated early, a child can have speech and language delays or problems learning in school.

Helping overcome neurological challenges to speech.

Improving verbal and non-verbal communication no matter the neurological challenge

Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is a motor speech disorder that makes it difficult for children to speak. Children with the diagnosis of apraxia of speech generally have a good understanding of language and know what they want to say. However, they have difficulty learning or carrying out the complex sequenced movements that are necessary for intelligible speech.

Getting help with specific sounds of letters and words.

If your child is having trouble with certain letter or word sounds, we can help.

Most children make some mistakes as they learn to say new words. A speech sound disorder occurs when mistakes continue past a certain age. Every sound has a different range of ages when the child should make the sound correctly. Speech sound disorders include problems with articulation (making sounds) and phonological processes (sound patterns).

Meeting Speech Goals Through Technology

We work passionately with you and your loved ones to improve verbal and non-verbal communication.

It is our role as speech-language pathologists to make sure that every child is able to adequately communicate their thoughts, feelings, wants and needs with others in a functional way.  Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) is one of the tools used by those with limited, impacted and/or no verbal communication in order to enhance that person's overall ability to communicate.

Stuttering can be treated. The earlier treatment starts, the more effective it is long term.

Fluency, or stuttering, is a communication disorder involving disruptions, or “disfluencies,” in a person’s speech. The word “stuttering” can be used to refer either to the specific speech disfluencies that are commonly seen in people who stutter or to the overall communication difficulty that people who stutter may experience.  In addition to producing disfluencies, people who stutter often experience physical tension and struggle in their speech muscles, as well as embarrassment, anxiety, and fear about speaking. Together, these symptoms can make it very difficult for people who stutter to say what they want to say, and to communicate effectively with others.
