SPEECH THERAPY Speech Therapists work on a variety of speech/communication-related tasks, not just sounding out words (which is very important!). They also work on speech and language concerns including but not limited to cognitive and/or social communication. If you feel like your child “just doesn’t listen”, it may be worth getting them assessed for auditory processing delays by a Speech Therapist.
Kids in Stride provides therapy services for children facing eating and swallowing difficulties, language and cognitive-linguistic challenges, and progressive neurological conditions. Our speech therapists use specific exercises to strengthen oral and throat muscles and cognitive exercises to improve memory, sequencing, and problem-solving abilities. Speech-language therapy is recommended for children with various conditions such as hearing impairments, developmental delays, weak oral muscles, chronic hoarseness, birth defects like cleft lip or palate, autism spectrum disorder, motor planning problems, articulation difficulties, fluency issues, respiratory problems, breathing disorders, feeding and swallowing challenges, traumatic brain injury, issues with voice pitch, quality and volume, trouble understanding language, and dyslexia. We recommend early enrollment in therapy for better outcomes. Speech therapy can help children with learning problems related to speech and language.
Speech therapy can also benefit occupational therapy by developing communication methods with children who struggle to express themselves and feel understood. Developing language skills and the ability to listen to others helps them work through a step-by-step process and learn how to plan and sequence tasks, as well as overcome challenges. Communication can take many forms, such as pointing, and it's crucial to develop language while also having a functional short-term communication method to help with regulation. Additionally, understanding the rules of language, such as grammar and spelling, can have a direct impact on handwriting skills and interest. Finally, developing memory skills is important for both academic and self-management tasks, such as remembering where the lunch box was left.
We offer therapy services for various speech disorders, including Childhood Apraxia of Speech, Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders, Speech Sound Disorders/Articulation Disorders, Stuttering and Other Fluency Disorders, Receptive Disorders, Autism-Related Speech Disorders, Resonance Disorders, and Selective Mutism.
