Receptive & Expressive Language Disorders
Communication is a daily necessity and a key aspect of being human. When it falters, it impacts our social interactions, relationships, and overall functioning in daily life. In children, acquiring functional language skills is crucial for expressing their basic needs, ideas, feelings, and for self-advocacy.

Augmentative & Alternative Communication
AAC plays a crucial role in speech therapy, particularly for children who are non-speaking or have limited communication abilities. Identifying alternative communication methods for our patients is essential in connecting them with their communication partners. This is a key aspect of our holistic approach helping them develop effective and functional communication skills both within and outside the therapy setting.
