Our speech pathologists specialize in speech, language and feeding skills for those with Down syndrome. We treat infants to adults in a variety of settings to optimize time, cost and evidence-based practices.
We focus on how speech enhances communication at all ages and stages of development by going beyond articulation of sounds and words to address the unique qualities of speech and language of those with Trisomy 21. Individual strengths are used to help relative weaknesses in areas such as interpersonal communication, accessing knowledge, short-term verbal memory and speech clarity.
As specialists we tailor interventions to individual, familial and educational needs using functional goals and strategies. This improves rate of skill acquisition, use and maintenance. We use functional activities of daily living in natural environments such as your home, school, work, play and community to ensure results.
