Speech-Language Therapy

---

Speech-language therapists help people of all ages find their voice, connect with others, and enjoy mealtimes safely. We support communication, feeding & swallowing, and cognition in ways that feel natural and meaningful. 

 Speech-language therapists work with clients in ways that are tailored to their age, goals, and daily life. 

For children, therapy is often play-based and child-led—using games, stories, songs, and imaginative play to make learning fun while building skills like speech sounds, language, social communication, and feeding. For example, a therapist might practice requesting and labeling items during a pretend grocery store game or work on speech sounds while building a tower of blocks.

For adults, therapy focuses on practical, real-life strategies to support independence at home, at work, and in the community. This might include practicing clear phone conversations, reading and understanding medical instructions, improving memory for daily tasks, or learning safe techniques for swallowing and eating.

Client and caregiver education is a core part of therapy. Parents, family members, or caregivers learn strategies to support progress outside of sessions—like turning everyday routines into opportunities for practicing speech, language, or feeding skills. This collaboration ensures therapy gains carry over into daily life, leading to faster, lasting results.
