Speech Therapy Services In North Jersey

Speech therapy is an intervention service that focuses on improving a child’s speech skills, and understanding and/or expressing language skills including nonverbal language. Speech-language pathologists (SLP’s), are the professionals who provide these services. 

Speech therapy is important because communication is a fundamental aspect of human interaction. Speech-language pathologists play a crucial role in helping individuals overcome communication challenges, such as stuttering, articulation disorders, language delays, voice disorders, and more. SLP’s also specialize in evaluating and treating swallowing and feeding disorders to improve an individual’s ability to swallow safely, as well as, develop skills for eating and drinking. By working with an SLP, clients can improve their ability to express themselves, understand others, and participate in social, academic and professional settings. Our therapy techniques use a variety of activities and strategies to encourage your child to communicate at his/her highest level, while still having fun! Please remember “the earlier a child receives the help he/she needs, the better his/her language and communication development outcome will be”. Some parents are advised that their child will likely “grow out of it”, and they simply wait for the child to catch up. However, the “wait and see” approach means that precious time can be lost during this critical learning phase.
