OUR SERVICES
SPEECH / LANGUAGE THERAPY
Speech and language therapy services aim to treat speech, language and cognitive-communication disorders in children of all ages. Therapy may be utilized to improve speech intelligibility, communication, and even pragmatic skills such as turn-taking, eye-contact and conversation skills.

FEEDING THERAPY
The goal of feeding therapy is to help a child master age-appropriate feeding skills while maintaining a well-balanced diet. This may include efficient bottle-feeding skills in infants, toddlers learning to chew, or adolescents tolerating new/different textures and foods. Therapy may focus on improving oral motor or swallowing skills, increasing food acceptance, and/or improving mealtime behavior.
