School Skills
These include a range of abilities that enable success in a structured learning environment. They encompass academic understanding, social interaction, problem-solving, and physical control needed for writing and classroom participation. These abilities form the foundation for learning and collaboration.
Speech Sound Disorders
Speech sound disorders occur when a child has trouble pronouncing words clearly, which can make it harder for others to understand them. These issues may stem from problems with how sounds are made or how the brain organizes them. Speech therapy helps kids practice making the right sounds, improving their speech clarity over time.
Fluency Disorders
Fluency disorders, like stuttering, affect the smooth flow of speech, causing interruptions such as repeating sounds or words. This can make speaking feel frustrating or anxiety-provoking for those who experience it. A speech therapist can work with individuals on techniques to improve speech fluency and reduce the stress that comes with speaking.
Language Disorders
Language disorders can make it difficult for someone to understand or express themselves using words, whether in speech or writing. This may show up as challenges with vocabulary, grammar, or forming complete sentences. Through speech therapy, individuals can develop better communication skills and become more confident in expressing themselves.
Pragmatic Language Disorders
Pragmatic language disorder affects how someone uses language socially—like knowing when to take turns in conversation or how to read body language and tone. People with this disorder may find it harder to build relationships or engage in everyday social interactions. Speech therapy focuses on helping individuals understand social cues and practice more effective communication in social situations.
Cognitive-Communication Disorders
Cognitive-communication disorders happen when cognitive problems—like memory, attention, or problem-solving—affect a person’s ability to communicate. This can make it difficult to organize thoughts or express them clearly. Therapy targets these underlying cognitive skills, helping individuals think more clearly and communicate in a way that’s easier for others to understand.
Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS)
Childhood apraxia of speech is a motor speech disorder where the brain has trouble coordinating the muscles needed for clear speech. Children with CAS may have inconsistent or unclear speech, making it hard for others to understand them. With speech therapy, kids practice controlling these muscles, improving their ability to form words and speak more clearly.
Feeding/Swallowing Therapy
Feeding and swallowing therapy helps people who have trouble eating, drinking, or swallowing safely, often due to medical or developmental issues. These difficulties can lead to choking, coughing, or not getting enough nutrition. Therapists work on strengthening the muscles involved in swallowing, ensuring safer and more efficient feeding.
