Speech Delay:
Speech is how we say sounds. If your child has a speech delay, you may have a hard time understanding the words he’s trying to say.
​
Expressive Language Delay:
Expressive language is how we use words to convey meaning. If your child has an expressive language delay, he may have a hard time verbally communicating what he wants or needs.
​
Receptive Language Delay:
Receptive language is how we understand what is being said to us. If your child has a receptive language delay, he may struggle to follow directions or point to objects when asked.
Adult Rehabilitation
Aphasia:
Aphasia is a language disorder caused by damage in areas of the brain responsible for language expression (speaking and writing) and comprehension (understanding what others are saying or difficulty reading). There are several different kinds of aphasia, but all can make it challenging for a person to communicate with others.
Apraxia of Speech:
Apraxia is a type of motor speech disorder where the brain has trouble telling the speech muscles how to move correctly. A person with apraxia may know exactly what he wants to say, but is unable to coordinate the muscles of speech to form words.
Cognitive Impairment:
Cognitive speech therapy targets memory, attention, problem solving and judgment, and many other areas. This area is vast and in-depth, so please reach out to discuss cognitive therapy in more detail.
Dysarthria:
Dysarthria is a motor speech disorder caused by weakness of the speech muscles due to brain or nerve damage. It can make it hard for a person to talk, and even harder for him to be understood by others.
Dysphagia:
Dysphagia is a swallowing disorder. Swallowing is a complex process, and there are many ways this process can be disrupted. Dysphagia can lead to aspiration pneumonia (when food or drink goes "down the wrong pipe" and turns into a bacterial infection), malnutrition, and greatly impact quality of life.
Voice Disorders:
A voice disorder is when voice quality, pitch, and loudness are impacted in a way that one's voice doesn't meet their daily needs. There are several reasons someone may have a voice disorder, such as vocal cord paralysis, vocal nodules, muscle tension, etc.
​
LSVT LOUD Therapy:
