TREATMENTS
The Care You Deserve
Speech, Feeding, and Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy
Our articulation, myofunctional, and feeding therapy services are designed to help individuals achieve clearer speech and improve oral motor function. Through personalized sessions, we address speech sound disorders, tongue thrust, swallowing issues, and other oral motor challenges. Additionally, our feeding therapy supports safe and effective eating, tackling difficulties such as picky eating, texture aversion, and oral sensory concerns. Our goal is to enhance communication, promote healthy breathing and feeding patterns, and support overall oral health, empowering clients to speak and eat with confidence and ease.
Early Intervention
Our early intervention services are dedicated to supporting the developmental needs of young children. We offer personalized therapy and guidance to address speech and language delay and social-emotional development. Our goal is to empower families and caregivers with the tools and strategies needed to help their children reach important milestones, fostering growth, communication, and confidence during this crucial period of development.
Parkinson's Disease
Our specialized speech therapy services for Parkinson's are designed to help individuals maintain and improve their communication skills. We focus on addressing the unique challenges posed by Parkinson's, such as reduced voice volume, speech clarity, and facial expressiveness. Through targeted exercises and personalized strategies, we aim to enhance speech intelligibility, strengthen vocal quality, and improve overall communication, empowering clients to express themselves confidently and effectively in their daily lives. We are certified in LSVT LOUD and SpeakOUT.
Aphasia and Cognitive Communication Disorders
Our speech therapy services for aphasia and cognitive-communication disorders-whether post-stroke, TBI, or caused by a neurodegenerative disease-are dedicated to helping individuals regain and strengthen their communication abilities. We offer personalized therapy to address challenges such as word-finding difficulties, understanding and producing language, memory issues, and problem-solving deficits. Our goal is to improve language skills, enhance cognitive function, and support effective communication, empowering clients to connect with others and navigate daily life with greater ease and confidence.
Swallowing
Our dysphagia therapy services are designed to help individuals safely and effectively manage swallowing difficulties. Utilizing advanced tools like the Tongueometer, we offer interactive therapy that precisely measures tongue strength and endurance, providing real-time feedback during exercises. Through personalized treatment plans, we address challenges such as difficulty swallowing food or liquids, choking, and aspiration risks. Our goal is to improve swallowing function, enhance nutrition and hydration, and reduce the risk of complications, empowering clients to enjoy meals with greater comfort and confidence.
