Speech Therapy and Language Therapy Services

Speech and language disorders affect an individual’s ability to talk, understand, read, and/or write. Such disorders have different causes, and may range from a few speech sound errors to a total loss of the ability to communicate effectively; they can be developmental or acquired and may affect individuals at any or all stages of life.

Speech and language therapy can aid in the progression of an individual’s communication skills level. Goals are set based on the results of an evaluation and are selected to achieve success through a series of activities at the client’s skills level in a structured environment. The recommended amount and length of therapy depends on the individual’s age and the length and severity of the deficit.

 

Communication Matters offers speech and language services for all age groups.
