SPEECH-LANGUAGE THERAPY

Our Speech-Language Pathologists understand that the ability to communicate is essential to learning, play, and social interaction.  Impaired communication can affect every aspect of a child's life.  Our Speech-Language Pathologist evaluate and determine a child's communication strengths and weaknesses. 


Based on your child's individual needs, expert therapy techniques are utilized to help expand his or her comprehension and/or production of language experienced daily. Our expert therapists use techniques  to help expand comprehension, expressive language and production of speech.

Speech and Language therapy at High Hopes addresses a variety of communication disorders including:

  • Sound production (articulation/phonology)

  • Early language delay 

  • Auditory processing disorder

  • Pragmatics (eye contact, social interaction)

  • Fluency (speed of speech and stuttering)

  • Augmentative and assistive communication (sign language, communication boards, electronic systems, speech-generating devices)
