Speech Therapy
Play for young children is not recreation activity, …it is not leisure-time activity nor escape activity…Play is thinking time for young children. It is language time. Problem solving time. It is memory time, planning time, investigating time. It is organizing-of-ideas time, when a young child uses his mind and body and social skills and all his powers in response to the stimuli he has met.” ~ James L. Hymes, JR (1968)
Speech therapy addresses communication as a whole including receptive and expressive language. Our Speech Therapy program helps develop language skills for socialization for everyday life. Children will be provided with the tools they need to express themselves with peers & family members. Allowing your child the time to explore their imagination through play builds skills in: sequencing, problem solving, language, cognition, and storytelling.
