SPEECH THERAPY

What is Speech/Language Therapy?

Providing Care That’s Relevant to You

The ability to communicate effectively is a highly valued skill that is often taken for granted in our society, until someone struggles with it. When adequate communication skills do not develop typically in children or are impacted by disease or trauma, an entire family unit can be changed. Because communication requires more than one person, the effects of its breakdown impact every person in the child’s life including peer and adult relationships. The speech/language pathologist is the professional who diagnoses and provides treatment for a wide range of communicative disorders. At Centra Pediatric Therapy our speech/language therapy programs are specifically tailored to meet the needs of each individual child.

Speech Therapy can help with:

• Apraxia

• Autism

• Central auditory processing

• Childhood language disorders

• Down syndrome

• Orofacial myofunctional disorders

• Oral motor planning disorder

• Speech articulation/phonological process disorders

• Stuttering/Fluency disorders
