Communication is all about connection —
help your child be heard
Speech Language Pathologists work with children to improve communication in multiple ways. This can look like producing clear speech, communicating through words or pictures, and understanding the verbal and non-verbal communication of others.
With effective communication, children experience more happiness and success in school and in relationships.

Difficulty making certain sounds
Garbled or difficult to understand speech
Difficulty following directions or answering simple questions
Not attempting to use language to communicate
Challenges with early reading skills, sound-letter relationships, or following written instructions
Stuttering or challenges around word fluency
Frustration when unable to communicate wants, needs, or ideas
