Expressions Speech-Language Pathology Services, Inc. offers the expertise of four licensed and highly qualified, motivated and ethical Speech Language Pathologists who identify, diagnose and implement evidenced based therapy.

Each client’s goals are closely monitored using a written therapy log for every session (e.g., S.O.A.P method). Every client’s progress will be reported quarterly using both a written report with a corresponding treatment plan. Attention to detail and on-going assessment allows us to modify strategies as necessary or to create new goals as needed. Expressions Speech Therapy also strives for 100% satisfaction from its consumers. To allow for family and client feedback, an annual Satisfaction Survey is distributed.
Expressions’ main suite interior contains 8-discrete therapy rooms which are used for individual and group sessions. We believe that the space provided respects the privacy our clients deserve and provides an optimal therapeutic environment. While we offer a quiet waiting room, families are encouraged to be part of the therapy process to help facilitate generalization of skills into the natural environment. Our secondary office suite offers a larger therapy room for social skills group training as well as an environment conducive for adults with disabilities.
