The goal of speech therapy is to assess and treat speech disorders and communication problems. If your child experiences communication disorders, speech muscle issues, hearing impairments, or even difficulty swallowing, we are here to support and share our expertise to overcome these concerns.

Pediatric Feeding Therapy
Feeding problems are natural among children. Although these are easily managed in certain situations, some scenarios often lead to consequences that bring discomfort to the child. In relation to our speech therapy services, we include pediatric feeding services to address feeding and swallowing concerns, and eventually provide the ideal nutrient intake for children. We help those experiencing the following:
- Coughing/choking during or after swallowing

- Irritability during meals
- Failure to accept new textures
- Take longer to finish meals
- Vomit

Pediatric Occupational Therapy
Certain aspects of the life of your child may be significantly affected by the environment, genetics, and their current health status. The effects of these factors may, at some point in the future, manifest in the form of negative experiences that will contribute to an unsatisfactory quality of life. Children must be protected against these and the necessary measures must be taken on the onset of symptoms that affect social, emotional, and cognitive behaviors. Through our occupational therapy experts, we address these concerns and help improve your children’s skills in the following areas:
- Cognitive skills
- Fine motor skills
