Speech Therapy for Children & Adults

Structured speech therapy for children with delayed or unclear speech, and for adults recovering speech after stroke or neurological illness.

Communication difficulties affect children and adults differently, but both benefit greatly from early, structured therapy. Whether a child is not meeting speech milestones or an adult is relearning speech after a stroke, our approach is patient, consistent and built around real progress at each patient's own pace.

Frequently Asked Questions

At what age should a child start speech therapy?

If a child shows delayed or unclear speech compared to typical milestones, an early assessment - often as young as 2 to 3 years - allows therapy to begin sooner, which generally improves outcomes.

Can adults recover speech after a stroke?

Many adults regain meaningful speech function after a stroke with consistent speech therapy, particularly when therapy begins early in the recovery process.

Is speech therapy helpful for autism?

Yes, speech therapy is often a core part of supporting communication development in children on the autism spectrum, alongside sensory and motor support.
