The goal of speech therapy is to help people become clear confident communicators. We strive to help patients develop independence for activities of daily living, be active participants in life experiences, build social relationships, and engage in school to best benefit from an academic curriculum. We believe that therapy is most effective when the SLP, patient and family are working as a team to achieve functional, relevant goals. Our SLPs develop treatment plans that detail the frequency, intensity, and focus of therapy services. This treatment plan changes as the needs of the patient change. As the child’s physician and an integral part of the medical home, you will always receive evaluation and discharge documentation.
