Speech Sound Disorders

If your child has trouble pronouncing some sounds and is difficult to understand at times, this might be for you. For example, if your child is saying "wabbit" for "rabbit" or "thit" for "sit" this would be considered an articulation disorder for some ages. A Speech Therapist would be able to tell you if this is normal for your child's age or not. Keep reading to find out more about Speech Sound Disorders and how Speech therapy can help.

Expressive/Receptive Disorders

Does your child have trouble getting their thoughts across either verbally or in writing? Receptive Language involves understanding what people are saying as well as what is written in text. Expressive language involves using words and sentences to communicate both orally and in writing. Dyslexia may cause your child to struggle in either or both of these. Speech therapy can help your child communicate successfully in each of these areas.

Difficulty with the English Language

Children who grow up in an environment where more than one language is spoken can be exciting and rewarding. However, some kids may need a little extra support in establishing a solid primary language. Without a stable foundation in ONE language, it can be difficult for kids to learn and progress in another language. We can help your child fill in the gaps of the English language foundation and help them succeed in a multilingual world!

Parent Consultations

As a parent, you are the expert in your child, culture, home, daily routine, etc. As a speech therapist, I am an expert in child speech and language development. It is important to work together to create an all-encompassing support team to ensure your child succeeds. I will give you explicit instructions on techniques for you to incorporate into your daily routines making it feel fun and natural while also helping to develop your child’s language skills.

Reading Difficulties

The term dyslexia is used to describe a person’s difficulty reading printed words. That means the student has difficulty understanding how sounds go together to create words. This makes it difficult for the student to read/decode a printed word (sound out the letters and put them together to form a word) as well as to spell words correctly. They require specific and explicit instruction to help with these problems. That's where I come in!
