What We Treat
Our experienced Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) can help with a wide range of communication and feeding concerns, including:
Speech Sound Disorders
Struggles with articulation or phonological processes that make it hard to understand your child.

Language Delays & Disorders
Difficulty understanding or using language to communicate wants and needs, tell stories, or asks and answers questions.
Can include both expressive (talking) and receptive (understanding) challenges.
Early Communication Delays
Limited babbling, gestures, or first words in toddlers.
Early intervention is key for improving long-term outcomes.
Social Communication Challenges (Pragmatics)
Difficulty with turn-taking, eye contact, understanding personal space, or interpreting social cues.
Common in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder or social language delays.
Feeding & Oral Motor Difficulties
Concerns with bottle feeding, chewing, swallowing, or transitioning to solid foods. Also concerns with coughing/choking with eating or drinking.
We work with infants and young children using a sensitive, supportive approach.
Stuttering / Fluency Issues
