Speech-Language Pathology / Speech-language pathologists are professionals who assess and treat speech and language, cognitive-communication disorders. Through a range of activities, children will learn the concept of using speech as a tool to meet their wants and needs. They are encouraged to ask for the things they want through models provided by the therapist and frequent prompting given in a fun and positive way. Activities boosting expressive language would ask the child to label or describe objects that are presented.
Each child learns in their own way and it is our commitment to find which style works best for every child that comes through our doors.
