What is Speech Therapy?
Speech therapy strengthens children’s and adult’s communication and feeding skills so that they can participate fully in daily activities and achieve success. It addresses language comprehension and expression, speech clarity and fluency, oral motor skill for feeding and speech development as well as social skills.
How to join Speech Therapy?
Our program always starts with an initial assessment to determine therapy targets for each individual client.
If the assessment indicated that therapy is required, sessions are typically done with the speech-language therapist on a one-to-one basis in a specific work setting which reduces distraction and maximizes focus for learning.
Consequently, parents or caregivers are to carry over and generalize the treatment goals at home.
