Speech & Language Therapy
At Therapy Connections, speech-language pathologists strive to help children communicate so they can develop happy and healthy relationships with friends, family and caregivers.
Effective communication requires a combination of skills in the areas of speech, language and hearing. Speech-language pathologists also can work with families to improve a child's feeding skills. We provide evaluations to determine the child's area(s) of need and then customize and implement a treatment plan to improve their communication skills.
Therapy Connections provides a wide range of therapeutic services using evidence based techniques, and an interdisciplinary approach, allow children with disabilities to achieve their highest potential.
Services are provided to children of all ages and various diagnoses that include Cerebral Palsy, Sensory Processing Disorder, Autism, Dyspraxia, Down syndrome and Language and Development Delays
