Disorders that we treat
Speech Sound Disorders
(including articulation, phonology, and childhood apraxia of speech)
If you are worried that your child’s speech is difficult to understand because they are substituting, adding, or deleting sounds or syllables in words, they may have a speech sound disorder. A trained speech and language pathologist can assess, diagnose, and develop a plan of care to help your child improve their speech sound production.
Children with speech sound disorders are at risk for increased reading and spelling difficulties later in the school years. We have successfully treated and remediated many speech sound disorders offering those children a head start into improved spelling and literacy skills.
Language Early Intervention
0-3 years
Sometimes younger children are late to babble, imitate, and/or use spontaneous words on their own. If you don’t feel like your child is talking quite as much as other same age peers, they may have a language delay. Research has shown that early intervention is key in addressing language delays and in preventing them from persisting into the school years.
As early interventionists, our goal is to remediate your child’s communication delays early in the preschool years so that by the time that they are of school age, that gap has been closed.
Language: Receptive and Expressive
3-18 years
Some children may have difficulty understanding or expressing their thoughts. This may impact peer interactions, academic performance, and their ability to share their thoughts and feelings.
A speech and language pathologist can complete a comprehensive assessment to determine areas of deficit and need.
Fluency
If you have noticed that your child is getting stuck on certain words or certain sounds and maybe their lips or face looks tense, they may be dealing with stuttering. Children who stutter may avoid speaking in social situations or change their words to avoid those words that they are more likely to stutter.
Dealing with a stuttering disorder can be stressful for a child, often creating fear which may perpetuate the moments of stuttering. A speech and language pathologist can evaluate your child to determine if they benefit from therapy sessions. In addition, therapy will provide you and your child with the skills and tools that can help them improve their fluency and confidence over time.
Telehealth
Our clinic is able to provide speech and language therapy through a secure connection to clients located anywhere in the state of California. Our professional therapists will engage your child through a live and secure video call allowing children to access therapy from their home.
Telehealth sessions are conducted in the same format as in-person sessions allowing us to target your child's fluency, articulation, phonology, and/or language goals. In addition, the American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA) has recognized telehealth as an effective and evidence based service delivery model.
