SPECIALISTS IN SPEECH At "All Clear Speech Therapy", we love speech and language! Our specialty is improving clarity of speech, even in children who have shown only limited improvement with past speech therapy. Our secret lies in identifying the underlying causes of persistent difficulties with clarity of speech and in correcting them so that improvements in how your child produces sounds are stable and lasting. WHAT WE TREAT • Articulation • Motor Speech Disorders • Phonological processing • Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (tongue thrust, tongue tie, etc.) • Stuttering • Late Talkers • Expressive and receptive language disorders • Speech and language disorders in bilingual and multilingual children HOW OUR SPEECH THERAPY WORKS The therapy process starts with a complete evaluation, during which your concerns and the child’s current communication strengths and areas for improvement are determined. Based on these, the therapist designs a treatment plan that is tailored to your child’s unique needs, personality, interests, and to your concerns. At "All Clear Speech Therapy", your concerns as a parent and your child’s personality and interests are central to the process of therapy. We see therapy not as something dictated solely by a professional, but rather as a collaboration between you, your child, and the therapist. By working together, we can help your child achieve clear communication skills.
