Who Can Benefit from Speech and Language Therapy
EmpowerED’s speech and language therapy services are ideal for children facing challenges such as:
- Delayed speech development, such as difficulty forming sentences, limited vocabulary, or rarely attempting to communicate verbally or nonverbally.
- Challenges understanding spoken language, including trouble following directions, grasping concepts, or interpreting age-appropriate ideas.
- Pronunciation difficulties, such as unclear speech, mispronounced sounds (e.g., "r," "s," "l"), or speech that is hard to understand.
- Social communication struggles, including trouble maintaining conversations, using language appropriately, or interpreting social cues like tone and body language.
- Fluency issues, such as stuttering, repeating sounds or words, or frequently pausing while speaking.
If your child shows signs of difficulty in any of these areas, EmpowerED’s Speech & Language Therapy is here to help them build the skills they need to thrive.
