Speech and language therapies help children and teens communicate better and break down barriers. The main reasons kids participate in these therapies are to treat articulation challenges (pronouncing words/letters) or language delays (expressing or receiving language). The goals of these types of therapies are to improve pronunciation, strengthen the muscles used in speech, and help children learn to speak correctly. Speech and language therapies involve the assessment and treatment of communication problems and speech disorders. All Little Hands speech therapies are performed by our licensed, in-house Speech/Language Pathologists. Speech and language therapy techniques include articulation therapy, language intervention activities, and others depending on the type of speech or language disorder(s) affecting a child’s ability to communicate.
