Speech-Language Pathology supports children in developing both speech (how they produce sounds and words) and language (how they understand, use, and communicate through words—including spoken, written, gestural, and augmentative forms). Our therapists work on both skill development and supporting differences in communication that may follow a unique developmental trajectory. We recognize that language shapes our world—including the narratives we build about ourselves—which can have lifelong implications.
Our Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) take a strengths-based, child-led approach, supporting communication in a way that honors each child’s unique profile. Therapy may focus on gestalt language processing (GLP) to support natural language development, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) to enhance multimodal communication, or apraxia of speech using motor-based interventions. Additionally, our SLPs address articulation, fluency, and voice differences, social communication and play-based interactions, and language comprehension and expression in diverse contexts. Feeding therapy, including the Sequential Oral Sensory (SOS) approach, is also available to support safe and positive mealtimes.
Our SLPs have transdisciplinary training in sensory-integrative, behavioral, and neurodiversity-affirming approaches, allowing them to collaborate with Occupational Therapists, ABA therapists, and other professionals. Whether supporting a child’s first words, expanding their ability to self-advocate, or refining their speech clarity, we meet each child where they are—empowering them to communicate in the way that works best for them.
