Speech therapy is a specialized form of therapy focused on diagnosing and treating communication and speech disorders. It aims to help individuals improve their ability to communicate effectively. Speech therapists, also known as speech-language pathologists, work with people of all ages, from infants to older adults, who may have difficulties with speech, language, voice, fluency, or swallowing.

During speech therapy sessions, therapists use a variety of techniques and exercises tailored to each individual’s needs. These may include articulation exercises to improve pronunciation, language activities to enhance vocabulary and grammar, voice therapy to address vocal issues, fluency therapy to manage stuttering, and swallowing therapy to improve swallowing function.

Speech therapy is not only about correcting speech or language difficulties but also about improving overall communication skills and enhancing quality of life. Therapists often work closely with clients and their families to set goals, monitor progress, and provide support and education.

Understanding and using language to express ideas

Language therapy can help with:

  • Vocabulary bu8ilding (including late talkers)
  • Grammer
  • Sentence structure (Syntax)
  • Listening and understanding words and sentences
  • Social Language Skills (Pragmatics)
  • Questions

(ALL CHILDREN HAVE A VOICE)

Equipping your children with supplementary communication methods, including both low and high-tech options like PECS, AVAAZ for Life, and various others, when necessary.

We experiment with individualized methods tailored to your child, fostering their ability to effectively interact with those around them.

Therapy is offered to children experiencing challenges in correctly articulating sounds, such as a lisp, enhancing their clarity for better communication with others. Early intervention mitigates the potential impact of sound errors on reading and writing abilities. We offer evidence-based therapy for Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS), utilizing the most up-to-date methodologies.

 

At Speech, we offer evidence-based assessments and therapy programs specifically designed for stuttering.

Auditory Verbal Therapy (AVT) is an evidence-based intervention approach primarily used with children who are deaf or hard of hearing. The goal of AVT is to develop spoken language skills by maximizing the use of hearing through amplification (like hearing aids or cochlear implants) and developing listening skills.

In AVT sessions, a certified therapist works closely with the child and their family, focusing on teaching parents techniques to facilitate listening and spoken language development in everyday activities. The therapist guides the child through a series of structured activities designed to encourage auditory skills, such as sound discrimination and speech perception. Through consistent practice and support, children learn to listen and communicate effectively in spoken language, aiming to integrate them fully into mainstream educational and social settings. AVT emphasizes early intervention and intensive therapy to optimize outcomes for children with hearing loss.

Oral Placement Therapy (OPT) is a specialized therapeutic approach designed to improve speech and feeding skills by targeting the movement and coordination of the muscles in and around the mouth. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with speech or feeding difficulties, such as articulation disorders, oral motor deficits, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), orofacial myofunctional disorders, and other related conditions.

In OPT, a trained therapist uses a variety of techniques and exercises to systematically address oral motor control, strength, range of motion, and coordination. These techniques often involve the use of tools or props to facilitate specific movements of the lips, tongue, jaw, and palate. The therapy sessions are structured to target specific speech sounds or feeding behaviors, gradually progressing from simple to more complex movements.

The ultimate goal of Oral Placement Therapy is to improve the individual’s ability to produce speech sounds accurately, enhance oral motor function for eating and swallowing, and promote overall communication and feeding success. By targeting the underlying muscle movements and coordination needed for speech and feeding, OPT aims to improve functional outcomes and enhance the individual’s quality of life.

Feeding therapy is a specialized intervention aimed at addressing difficulties related to eating, drinking, and swallowing. This therapy is conducted by trained professionals, such as speech-language pathologists or occupational therapists, who assess and treat various feeding challenges in individuals of all ages, from infants to adults.

Feeding therapy sessions typically involve a combination of strategies and techniques tailored to the individual’s specific needs and goals. These may include oral motor exercises, sensory-based interventions, behavioral interventions, and environmental modifications to support successful feeding and swallowing.

Voice therapy is a specialized form of therapy focused on diagnosing and treating voice disorders. These disorders can affect the quality, pitch, volume, or resonance of a person’s voice, impacting their ability to communicate effectively. Voice therapy is conducted by speech-language pathologists (SLPs) who are trained in assessing and treating various voice disorders.

Voice therapy sessions typically involve a combination of exercises, techniques, and strategies tailored to the individual’s specific needs and goals. These may include vocal exercises to improve muscle coordination and control, breathing exercises to support optimal vocal production, resonance exercises to modify vocal tone, and behavioral modifications to promote vocal health.

With consistent participation and practice, voice therapy can help individuals improve their vocal function, enhance communication skills, and regain confidence in their voice.
