TESTIMONIALS
What our clients are saying
My daughter has come here since she was almost 2 and the staff here have helped her make so much progress. She hasn't had a therapist that she worked with that we didn't love ! They do a great job of informing me of what she did that day and about the evaluations. Highly recommend them for any speech therapy needs.

FAQ
You're probably
wondering...
-
What is the difference between speech and language?Speech refers to the motor aspect of communication, focusing on the production, pronunciation, and articulation of sounds. On the other hand, language involves both the receptive aspect (understanding) and expressive aspect (verbal/nonverbal communication) of sharing thoughts, ideas, and feelings.
-
How can I determine if my child is struggling with speech?If your child is speaking in complete sentences, but their words are difficult to understand, it could indicate challenges with speech. Do you find yourself in a situation similar to "Charlie is 3 and speaks in complete sentences, but we can't understand a word he says?" If yes, your child's speech articulation might need some attention.
-
What signs indicate language difficulties in my child?Language difficulties often manifest in various ways. For instance, if your child is struggling to follow basic directions, has a limited vocabulary, or encounters difficulties sharing their thoughts, you might want to focus on nurturing their language skills. An example could be "sadie is 2 years old and does not follow basic directions and only has 10 words.
-
What is articulation?Articulation is a crucial aspect of speech, focusing on the physical production and clarity of speech sounds. It involves the precise movements and coordination of the articulary muscles in the mouth, tongue, lips, and throat to create specific speech sounds and form words, phrases, sentences, and conversations. Proper articulation allows us to produce sounds accurately, making our speech clear and understandable to others. When a child has challenges with articulation, they may struggle to pronounce certain sounds, substitute one sound for another, omit sounds, or distort them. For example, a child might say "wabbit" instead of "rabbit" or struggle to pronounce the "th" sound.
-
I I don't address articulation at a young age, will my child grow out of it?Articulation difficulties can vary in severity and may affect a few specific sounds or a broader range of sounds. These challenges can interfere with effective communication, as others may have difficulty understanding what the child is trying to say. This can lead to frustration for both the child and the listener. Early intervention is crucial for children with articulation difficulties as is can prevent further obstacles in communication and social interactions. By addressing articulation challenges, children can build confidence in their ability to communicate clearly and effectively.
