Speech & Language Therapy
Individualized, real-world communication support.

Expressive and receptive language
Articulation
Phonological processing
Social communication and pragmatic language skills
Therapy is collaborative and goal-driven, with a focus on meaningful progress that supports communication at home, in school, and in daily life.
Evaluations
Comprehensive assessments to clarify needs and guide next steps.
Evaluations may be requested by families, schools, or educational teams and are conducted by licensed speech-language pathologists using a combination of standardized assessments, clinical observation, and contextual input. These assessments can support:
Initial identification of speech or language needs
Review of progress or changing concerns
Independent Educational Evaluations (IEEs)
School-based planning and collaboration
