Speech Therapy
Led by our team of Speech Language Pathologists (SLP). Students work to improve their ability to understand language, memory, attention and to develop successful verbal and nonverbal communication skills. The role of a Speech Therapist is to connect and have fun with each student, while discovering his or her preferred way of communication.
Goals

Improve the child’s ability to understand language within the world around them and develop successful communication skills.
