Throughout these therapies and programs, you and your child will work with a registered Speech-Language Pathologist (SLPs) to address speech sound disorders, language delays, fluency issues, voice disorders, pragmatic language skills, and feeding/swallowing difficulties. Through structured interventions, pediatric speech therapy aims to improve your child’s ability to communicate effectively and confidently.
Our Speech-language pathologists can help your child with the following issues:
Speech Sound Disorders: One of the main components of Pediatric speech therapy is addressing speech sound disorders, including articulation and phonological disorders, which can lead to difficulties in pronouncing sounds and words correctly.
