What Is Speech Therapy?

Speech therapy is a clinical intervention that focuses on diagnosing and treating speech, language, voice, communication, and swallowing disorders. It includes a variety of strategies and exercises that target areas such as:

• Articulation (pronouncing sounds correctly)

• Language development (understanding and using language)

• Fluency (e.g., stuttering)

• Voice modulation

• Social communication (pragmatics)

• Oral motor and feeding/swallowing skills

Using evidence-based methods and personalized plans, we help individuals gain the skills they need to communicate clearly and effectively.

When Should You Seek Speech Therapy?

• Early intervention is key! It’s important to seek speech therapy if you notice:

  The sooner therapy begins, the more effective the outcomes can be. However, it’s never too late—speech therapy benefits individuals at any stage of life.
