SPEECH THERAPY

 

Reach Beyond
Building confidence through language.

Speech therapy is the treatment, support, and care provided to children who have difficulty with communication, cognition, voice, or swallowing. Therapy services are provided by licensed and experienced therapists that are trained to identify the disorder, develop and implement a treatment plan, and provide parent-training and support. Speech therapists also assist children with problems with spoken and written language, such as dyslexia, dyspraxia and auditory processing disorder.
