Our Services
INITIAL NO CHARGE CONSULTATION
INITIAL NO CHARGE CONSULTATION
These visits are provided free of charge and allow the client or parents of the client to discuss their concerns with a speech language pathologist. These visits are approximately 30 minutes in length.
EVALUATION AND ASSESSMENT
INITIAL NO CHARGE CONSULTATION
Evaluations and assessments are provided to determine what the individual needs to do to improve his/her communication skills. The assessment is completed by a registered Speech Language Pathologist.
SPEECH THERAPY (ARTICULATION THERAPY)
Articulation refers to speech sound production. Sounds that are misarticulated call attention to how the speaker sounds rather than to what he/she is discussing. If any speech sound errors are identified, speech therapy will be recommended.
GROUPS
Groups are an integral part of our clinic. They are the ultimate practice space for our clients, where they can perfect skills they acquired in one to one therapy. Groups are led by registered Speech Language Pathologists.
LANGUAGE THERAPY
Language therapy covers a wide range of services. Speech language therapy depends on age, abilities, and goals. We will be able to determine a therapy program after an assessment.
ORAL MOTOR THERAPY
The oral mechanism and its functions are addressed in speech therapy for articulation improvement and swallowing disorders in infants and adults. Each case requires individual assessment to determine where the oral motor difficulties lie.
FLUENCY THERAPY
A fluency disorder is a “speech disorder” characterized by disruptions in smoothness, rhythm, and continuity of sounds, syllables, words or syntactic language units during speaking. Disfluencies in speech are more commonly referred to as stuttering. A Speech Language Pathologist is trained to help stuttering.
SOCIAL SKILLS THERAPY
Individuals may have good linguistic ability and be able to use a variety of sentence structures that are syntactically, morphologically and semantically correct, but lack the ability to monitor when to most effectively and appropriately use them. Speech therapy is designed to help the individuals learn how to use language socially.
ACCENT MODIFICATION
ACCENT MODIFICATION
Our Speech Language Pathologists are trained in using the The Compton PESL accent modification method which helps individuals to modify their accents. Using this method, studies have shown increases in pronunciation clarity and accuracy of at least 50% by the majority of students who complete the training program.
