At our practice, we provide the following:

Articulation/Phonological Treatment

An articulation disorder involves problems making sounds (for example a lisp or an R distortion). Sounds can be substituted, left off, added or changed. These errors may make it hard for children to be understood.  A phonological process disorder involves patterns of sound errors.  Both are treated with a multi-modality approach.  

*Apraxia Treatment*

Children with apraxia of speech know what words they want to say, but their brains have difficulty coordinating the muscle movements necessary to say those words.  Specialized training is used when working with children who are apraxic including PROMPT, Kaufman, Strand and Hammer methodologies.

 

​

Tongue Thrust Treatment

Diagnosis and treatment of a deviated (reverse) swallow or tongue thrust. 

 

​

Oral-Motor Therapy

Oral-Motor therapy uses a variety of exercises to develop awareness, strength, coordination and mobility of the oral muscles.This can strengthen weak facial musculature and can help affect both speech and feeding skills.  Methods used include Rosenfeld-Johnson, Marshalla, and Beckman.

 

​

Language Therapy

Language skills can be deviated or delayed expressively or receptively.  Many techniques are used to increase language skills.  Each child is treated individually.

 

​

Feeding Therapy

Feeding issues may be behavioral or physiological. Many techniques can be employed to increase food repertoire.

 

​
