Expressive-Receptive Language Therapy
Expressive-receptive language disorders are communication challenges that impact a child’s ability to communicate and comprehend spoken or written communication. Language therapy for children targets components such as vocabulary, grammar, and reading comprehension.
Fluency/Stuttering Therapy
Stuttering is a speech disorder characterized by repeated sounds, syllables, or words and can affect an individual’s confidence and fluency while speaking. Speech therapy provides education about stuttering, promotes self-acceptance and self-advertising, and teaches fluency strategies to minimize tension while speaking.
Social Communication/ Pragmatic Language Therapy
Pragmatic language disorders involve difficulties in the social use of language. Pragmatic language therapy teaches students to understand and apply conversational rules, to interpret non-verbal cues, and to adjust one’s communication style to fit varying social contexts.
