Speech-Language Therapy

Tara Johnson, Speech-Language Pathologist

 
Speech and language therapy includes the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of speech, language, cognitive-communication, and swallowing disorders. Speech-Language Pathologists, or speech therapists, as they are commonly called, are specially trained and licensed to improve the communication skills of the people with whom they work. Our speech therapists help children, adolescents, and adults to develop their communication skills in the areas of:

• Articulation
• Receptive and expressive language
• Resonance/voice
• Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)
• Oral Motor/feeding
• Social-pragmatic language skills
• Play Skills
• Functional Communication

Our therapists have specialized training in the following areas:

• SOS (Sequential-Oral-Sensory) Approach to Feeding
• LAMP (Language Acquisition through Motor Planning) Training
• Augmentative Communication

Our therapists believe that communication skills are best learned in the child’s natural environment, doing what children do best – playing and learning! We utilize a functional approach to teaching communication by providing therapy in the context of play and natural learning opportunities as much as possible. We believe that every child has the ability to communicate. Our job is to help them discover how.
