Pediatric Speech Therapy in Sioux Falls, SD
Helping your kids communicate, connect, feed, and thrive!
At Move U Pediatric Therapy, we believe every child deserves the ability to express themselves confidently and clearly. Our speech therapy services are rooted in a child-led approach that supports natural communication development in a fun, engaging, and pressure-free environment.


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.
Example: “Wabbit” instead of “rabbit.”
✅ 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
Repetitions, blocks, or prolongations that disrupt the natural flow of speech.
