Specialized Speech Therapy Services

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)
Our team develops personalized communication methods, ranging from low-tech to high-tech solutions, to support each child's social engagement. We provide guidance on funding, programming training for these communication aids, whether used temporarily or permanently.

Our therapists assess and support safe feeding, from nursing and bottle feeding to food stage progression. We work closely with families to improve muscle coordination and strength for eating, providing education and strategies for safe and successful feeding experiences.
