We provide quality speech therapy services.

Speech therapy helps children develop and improve their communication skills, including speech clarity, language understanding, social communication, and feeding/swallowing skills. A speech pathologist works with children to support their speech, language, and communication needs.

If your child has difficulty with speech sounds, understanding or using language, stuttering, social communication, or feeding/swallowing, they may benefit from speech therapy. If you’re unsure, we recommend booking an initial assessment with a speech pathologist.
