Speech therapy supports the communication development of young children who may have delays in speech, language, or feeding skills.  Through engaging, play-based activities, speech-language pathologists help children learn to express their wants and needs, understand others, and build early social interaction skills.  These experiences are tailored to each child’s developmental level and are integrated into everyday routines, making learning meaningful and natural.  Families are active partners in the process, learning strategies to support their child’s communication throughout the day.  By working closely with both children and caregivers, speech therapists help lay the foundation for strong language and communication skills that support future learning and connection with others.
