Our compassionate, play-based approach addresses deficits in speech sound production, fluency, language (expressive and receptive), voice, social communication, cognitive communication, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), hearing, feeding, and swallowing. While the cause of speech and language delays or disorders may sometimes be unknown, they can stem from factors like hearing loss, neurological conditions, intellectual disabilities, physical impairments, vocal misuse, prematurity, or genetics.
