Pediatric Speech Therapy
Pediatric speech therapy is a specialized field dedicated to helping our youngest family members communicate effectively.
Pediatric speech therapy can help improve many aspects of a child’s life through improvements in their social skills, cognitive development, their ability to read and write, language acquisition and understanding. When children have the appropriate tools to communicate their needs, we see dramatic improvements in their overall confidence, their resilience and other daily challenges.
Guidepost offers comprehensive speech and language assessments, including thorough evaluations for Dyslexia. Our pediatric speech therapists are professionally trained for early intervention, childhood apraxia, expressive and receptive language delays, auditory and language processing issues and oral motor therapy.
Through a holistic multi-disciplinary approach, Guidepost pediatric speech therapists work with children and parents to address the unique needs of every child. By using purposeful and engaging therapies and activities, our pediatric speech therapists facilitate skill development and empower children to navigate their world with confidence.
