Pediatric speech therapy is geared to our youngest patients. Our specially trained pediatric speech-language pathologists help children through 21 years of age in reaching their full potential. Our speech-language pathologists integrate proven treatment, advanced technologies and supportive care to optimize each patient’s recovery.
Treatment may include:

During the treatment process, a home exercise program may be customized to meet your diagnosis.
