Speech Therapy Services

I offer the following speech therapy services for children between the ages of 3 and 12 years

ARTICULATION DISORDERS

Difficulty producing certain sounds such as [r] or [s].

PHONOLOGICAL PROCESSES

Phonological processes are sound error patterns that children use to simplify speech as they are learning to talk e.g. “tat” instead of “cat”.

LANGUAGE DELAYS AND DISORDERS

The use of simple vocabulary, errors in sentence construction, the use of incorrect pronouns and prepositions, difficulty answering complex questions and general language delays.

AUDITORY PROCESSING DISORDERS

Difficulty blending sounds (e.g. c-a-t = cat), difficulty identifying first, last and middle sounds in words, difficulty recalling facts of a story, difficulty in breaking words down to syllables and adding or removing sounds in words (sound manipulation) on an auditory level.

EARLY COMMUNICATION INTERVENTION

Intervention services that help children at a young age to develop communication and language skills.

APRAXIA OF SPEECH

Difficulty saying sounds, syllables, and words due to the brain having difficulty with muscle (motor) planning (e.g. lips, jaw, tongue) needed for speech.
