We evaluate and treat children of all ages from birth through adolescence. SPEECH DELAYS AND DISORDERS Articulation Difficulty saying age appropriate sounds based on normal speech development patterns (e.g., a child says wion instead of lion). Phonology Errors that affect a group of sounds that compromise a childs speech and language system (e.g., a child consistently drops the last sound in all of their words). LANGUAGE DELAYS AND DISORDERS Expressive Delays Difficulties conveying a message. Potential areas of difficulty include incorrect use of plurals, gender pronouns, verb tenses and conjunctions. Receptive Delays Difficulties comprehending what is said (e.g., following multi-step instructions or understanding stories). Auditory Processing Disorders Difficulty making sense of information that the child hears. MOTOR SPEECH DISORDERS Childhood Apraxia of Speech Trouble saying sounds, or combining sounds, syllables and words. Inconsistent error patterns (e.g., ball may become ba, uh, bap, etc.).
