A Speech and Language Pathologist (SLP) can help to improve your child's ability to communicate. SLPs are experienced in addressing a wide variety of concerns, including speech and language delays, feeding issues, oral-motor concerns, difficulty understanding and/or following directions, and interacting with others. They also have experience with augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). All of the speech therapists have their Certificate of Clinical Competency (CCC) through the American Speech and Hearing Association.
