A pediatric speech-language pathologist (SLP) assists with the improvement of your child’s verbal and nonverbal language skills, thus helping them communicate more effectively. An SLP will focus on improving three areas of communication issues — expressive language, repetitive language, and speech. They will help your child develop their feeding and swallowing abilities. Speech therapy also helps children improve in areas such as social skills, auditory processing, and articulation.
Playful Progress and our children’s speech therapists are dedicated to helping children achieve a greater quality of life by providing high-quality, comprehensive speech therapy. We take the time to meet our client’s personal demands and health requirements to help them achieve a more excellent quality of life while benefitting the entire family.
