Speech & Language Therapy

Support for expressing yourself, understanding others, and connecting.

Communication looks different for everyone. We work collaboratively with individuals and families to build skills and strategies that support participation in everyday life.

 

Our services include:

• Speech sounds: Support for producing sounds and improving speech clarity.

• Expressive language: Help sharing ideas, expressing needs, and telling stories.

• Receptive language: Support for understanding words, directions, and conversations.

• Early communication: Engaging activities and caregiver guidance to support emerging communication.

• Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC): Exploring and supporting communication through pictures, gestures, boards, or devices.

 

We honor different communication styles and work toward goals that are meaningful to you. Sessions build on individual strengths, interests, and preferences.

Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy

Understanding how your tongue, lips, and mouth work together.

 

Orofacial myofunctional therapy addresses resting postures and movement patterns involving the tongue, lips, and other muscles of the mouth and face.

 

An evaluation can help determine whether therapy is appropriate for concerns such as:

• Tongue resting posture.

• Open-mouth resting posture.

• Tongue thrust or other atypical swallowing patterns.

• Persistent oral habits, such as thumb sucking.

• Speech concerns that occur alongside these patterns.

 

Care begins with understanding your symptoms, history, and oral function. When appropriate, therapy includes individualized activities and manageable home practice.

 

Some concerns also need assessment by a dentist, orthodontist, ENT, or another medical professional. We help identify when additional evaluation or coordinated care may be needed.
