Our speech-language pathologists use family-centered, evidence-based practices to support our clients and their families as they gain new skills and independence. Our professionals are educated and trained to evaluate and treat children with speech, language and swallowing problems. Specific areas of treatment can include articulation, expressive language, literacy, receptive language, social skills, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), and oral motor skills for eating and swallowing.

Expert Care
As part of our Anne Carlsen standard of care, we continually strive to advance our ability to meet the complex and unique needs of those we serve. The following specialty areas are vital components of our approach to Speech Therapy services.
Augmentative and Alternative Communication
Speech therapy will evaluate and establish effective and functional communication methods to promote social engagement. These methods cover a wide range of low-tech to high-tech supports that fit the individual’s needs and abilities. These supports and methods may be temporary aids or permanent additions. Funding, programming, and training support is provided/offered.
Feeding and Swallowing
Speech therapists assess a child’s eating and swallowing, as well as the coordination and strength of the muscles used for chewing and swallowing. We team with families to provide support, education, and guidance to promote successful and safe feeding. We support nursing, bottle, and food stage progression.

Integrated Services
Through collaboration and our continuum of services, we utilize a team approach in order to provide individualized and person-centered services. For individuals receiving Speech Therapy, the following departments and services are vital components of this continuum.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy treats the whole person. As occupational therapists, we look at the individual’s participation while engaging in daily routines, such as play, activities of daily living, education, leisure, and social interactions.
Physical Therapy
The physical therapy team works on all motor (movement) impairments. Physical therapy focuses on important motor skills of the developing child or young adult such as balance, strength, coordination, and walking.
Early Intervention
Children who are under three-years of age who are evaluated for direct therapy services will be referred to Early Intervention services, which can be accessed through the Department of Human Services. This may provide additional opportunities to support their child’s development, as well as connect them with other services such as respite care or medical assistance. When Anne Carlsen Early Interventionists and direct therapists treat the same child, the family and child will benefit from the ongoing collaboration across all of the child’s natural environments.
