Speech and Language Therapy

Lively Speech and Language Therapy provides treatment for speech development, phonological development (understanding of how sounds are grouped together for spoken/written meaning), receptive language (understanding of spoken/written language, word finding), expressive language (speaking and writing in correct grammatical structure, correct and specific  vocabulary, and details/complexity), and pragmatic language (increasing different types of communication-requests, comments, sharing info, asking/answering questions, following social norms of conversation, increasing communication attempts for quiet children, executive functioning, problem-solving). Post assessment, we will create a custom treatment plan to work with the strengths and areas of focus that are unique to your child’s needs. All of our treatments are evidence-based techniques that are recommended by the American Speech Language Hearing Association (ASHA) http://www.asha.org/.
