Welcome
Are you concerned about your child's speech and language skills?
Have you noticed they have difficulty saying certain sounds and they may be difficult to understand? This may be an articulation disorder which not only affects a child's speech, but typically can cause frustration, difficulty with social interactions and lead to future reading and writing difficulties.
Have you noticed your child stuttering? A fluency disorder can affect a child's self-confidence.
Have you noticed your child has difficulty following directions or answering questions? They may have receptive language problems.
Have you noticed your child has difficulty expressing a wide range of vocabulary and speaking in grammatically correct sentences? This may be an expressive language disorder.
Have you noticed your child has difficulty making friends, having conversations, understanding humor and tone of voice? They may have pragmatic language problems.
