Speech Therapy
Speech therapy teaches individuals with developmental disabilities to communicate their needs through verbal or non-verbal means—such as pointing or gesturing— enabling them to become better at understanding others, as well as expressing themselves.
State-licensed speech pathologists use articulation therapy (teaching a person how to make certain sounds), language intervention activities (using books and physical objects to stimulate language development) and other highly effective techniques to help individuals with:
- speech disorders
(problems with production of sounds)
- language disorders
(difficulty understanding words or putting them together to communicate ideas)
- swallowing disorders
(trouble ingesting food and liquids)
- hearing impairments
- cleft palate
- respiratory issues
Therapy will vary according to a person’s needs and may include individual and group sessions.
