Speech Therapy Services
Individualized support helps children with apraxia build speech skills through structured practice and family collaboration.
Apraxia Evaluation
An apraxia evaluation looks at how your child plans and coordinates speech movements, along with their communication strengths and needs. The therapist gathers information from caregivers, observes speech, and may use age-appropriate tasks. Findings help shape practical goals and recommendations for therapy. The evaluation also gives families time to ask questions and discuss what support may fit their child.
Individual Speech Therapy
Individual sessions give your child focused time to practice speech movements and sounds with a speech-language therapist. Activities are selected to match current abilities and communication goals. The therapist can adjust cues, pacing, and practice as your child responds. Regular sessions may help build consistency and carryover, while progress and goals are reviewed with caregivers along the way.
Motor Speech Practice
Motor speech practice focuses on coordinating the movements used to produce speech. A therapist selects useful words and phrases, then supports practice with cues such as visual models, slowed speech, or repetition when appropriate. Activities are adjusted to your child’s responses and goals. Caregivers can learn how to support practice without turning everyday conversation into a test.
Caregiver Coaching
Caregiver coaching gives parents and other communication partners practical strategies to use during daily routines. Sessions can cover how to offer helpful cues, allow time for a response, and respond to communication attempts. The therapist works with your family’s priorities and routines. This support helps connect therapy practice with the conversations and activities that matter to your child.
Communication Strategies
Communication strategies help children share messages while speech is developing. Depending on your child’s needs, a therapist may discuss gestures, picture supports, communication boards, or other options alongside speech practice. The goal is to support participation and reduce communication barriers. Strategies are chosen with the family and reviewed over time so they remain useful across home, school, and community settings.
Progress and Goal Reviews
Progress reviews give families and the therapist time to look at what is changing and what still feels difficult. The therapist may revisit speech samples, everyday communication needs, and current goals. Together, you can discuss which strategies are helping and whether therapy priorities should shift. Regular check-ins keep the plan connected to your child’s development and your family’s communication goals.
