Getting Started

How am I able to receive private speech therapy?

Infants and toddlers receive speech therapy when they need assistance in developing verbal communication.Preschool children may require help communicating wants and needs or understanding language concepts.

School aged children may go to speech therapy to correct articulation, phonological, or motor planning errors, to improve receptive and expressive language skills, learn to control stuttering, or improve social skills.

Some adults seek the resources of a speech therapist to help with stuttering, cognitive rehabilitation, or executive functioning.

• Visit your doctor to discuss your concerns.
