Feeding Therapy

Speech & Language Therapy
Helping children find their words and their voice.
Our speech-language pathologists help children communicate so they can build happy, healthy relationships with family, friends and caregivers, one conversation at a time.
How we help
Communication is how children connect with the world.
Communication draws on many skills at once: speech, language, listening and social understanding. When one piece is harder for a child, everyday moments like asking for help, joining a game or telling you about their day can become frustrating for everyone.

Common areas of focus
A closer look at what we work on
Phonological awareness
The ability to recognize and play with the sounds of spoken language is the foundation for learning to read. Some children pick it up naturally; others thrive with structured, supportive teaching.
Social skills
Social skills shape how children communicate, play and make friends. These are rarely taught directly, yet they’re the foundation for positive relationships and confident communication throughout life.
