Speech Therapy and Language Pathology for Children

Speech and Language Pathology, often called Speech Therapy, helps people improve their ability to communicate by assessing and treating speech and language disorders. Thrive SPC’s Speech and Language Pathologists (SLPs) help children to communicate to others and understand what is communicated to them. SLPs also treat oral motor dysfunction, feeding, and swallowing difficulties.

Our Speech Therapists utilize the latest technology to assist children with augmentative and alternative communication devices (AAC) when using their voice is not an option.
