Pediatric Speech Therapy - Helping Children Find Their Voice
What Is Speech Therapy and When Might a Child Need It?
Speech therapy is particularly suited for children who struggle with accurately producing speech sounds or experience issues with vocal quality, pitch, or rhythm.
You may observe your little one struggling with certain sounds, building sentences, following directions, or engaging in conversations with others.
While these challenges might impact their confidence, learning, and friendships, the good news is that they are very manageable with the right help and encouragement.
What Can Speech Therapy Help With?
Whether your child has a speech delay, stutters, or encounters challenges with pronunciation, our specialized therapy services are tailored to address their individual needs.
- Trouble saying certain sounds (Articulation – Apraxia of Speech)
- Stuttering or Cluttering (Fluency)
- Understanding or using words (Language Challenges)
- Speech delays or unclear speech (Late Talkers)

How do I know if my child needs help?

- No babbling or gestures like pointing or waving by 12 months
- Fewer than 15 to 20 words by 18 months
- No two-word phrases like “more milk” by 24 months
