Speech-Language Therapy
A comprehensive speech and language evaluation is completed to assess speech sound production as well as receptive and expressive communication abilities.
After thorough assessment, the treating SLP will develop an individualized plan to target the impaired areas (e.g., by implementing exercises to improve speech sound production, word-finding skills, language comprehension, written language skills, etc.).
