Overview
The Speech-Language Pathology Department evaluates children with speech, language, cognitive, feeding/swallowing, and auditory impairments and provides specialized therapy to develop their language skills.
We offer individual, paired-peer, and group therapy, along with community and caregiver education for those who are concerned about their child’s speech, language or communication skills. Learn more about our services.

Thanks to a generous donation, children are now able to actively create, explore and learn new sounds and language through our Music and Literacy Program. In this program, a board-certified music therapist uses music and literacy to enhance listening and language abilities for children with cochlear implants, hearing loss and speech and language delay.
