Many children have difficulty with producing speech sounds making their speech hard to understand or unintelligible. If your child’s speech is hard to understand he or she may need an articulation assessment.
You or your pediatrician may notice your child is using less words then age appropriate or having difficulty communicating. If so, your child may need a comprehensive language evaluation.
From newborn babies to adults post stroke, you may find yourself or a family member struggling to eat. If you or a family member is refusing to eat, choking, gagging, demonstrating prolonged meal times or having difficulty swallowing you may need a feeding evaluation.
Individuals with communication impairments may demonstrate difficulty with expressing themselves through spoken language. AAC encompasses a wide range of techniques and tools that are used to enhance communication abilities and expand vocabulary. If an individual has difficulty expressing themselves verbally, they may need an AAC assessment.
Parent coaching involves educating the parent and/or caregiver, through use of child development and speech therapy strategies to support their child’s speech and language development.
A cognitive communication deficit (CCD) is a problem with communication that stems from difficulties in cognitive functions, rather than language or speech issues alone. These cognitive functions include attention, memory, planning, and executive functions, all of which can impact the ability to communicate effectively.
Voice disorders encompass a range of conditions affecting a person's ability to produce a typical-sounding voice. They can result from various causes, including vocal abuse, medical conditions, or neurological issues. Common symptoms include hoarseness, breathiness, strain, and changes in pitch or volume.
Fluency disorders are characterized by disruptions in the normal flow of speech. These disruptions can manifest as repetitions of sounds, syllables, or words, prolongations of sounds, or blocks in speech production. The most common fluency disorders are stuttering and cluttering.
An Irlen screening is a test designed to identify Irlen Syndrome or Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome, a visual processing disorder that can affect reading, learning, and other visual tasks. It involves assessing how an individual processes light and visual information, and whether colored overlays or lenses can improve visual comfort and performance.
An educational advocate is someone with extensive knowledge about special education programs, 504 Plans, IEPs, and academic support that students can receive. This person educates parents, children and teens about the resources available to them and how to acquire each resource, as needed.
