Speech-Language Therapy

A friendly, engaging environment that drives children to understand and use language independently, becoming successful communicators.

Speech and language therapy can help improve:

  • Comprehension and expression through language
  • Speech sound production
  • Executive function skills
  • Auditory skills

As a parent or caregiver, you are integral to your child's success. In addition to participating in therapy, you'll learn strategies to help your child communicate effectively with those around them.

Developmental Communication Milestones

We strongly recommend speaking with a speech-language professional if your child shows any of the following signs.

By 12 months

  • Doesn't babble with changes in tone (e.g. "dada")
  • Doesn't use gestures like waving "bye bye" or shaking head for "no"
  • Doesn't respond to their name
  • Doesn't communicate in some way when they need help with something

By 24 months

  • Says fewer than 100 words
  • Isn't consistently joining two words together, like "Daddy go"
  • Doesn't imitate actions or words
  • Doesn't pretend with toys, such as feeding a doll

3–4 years

  • Doesn't ask questions by 3 years
  • Isn't using sentences (e.g., "I don't want that") by three years
