Speech Therapy
Pathways Center speech-language pathologists strive to give your child the tools to communicate effectively. We aim to improve your child’s ability to use verbal and non-verbal language, and to tolerate sensory stimulation. Our speech-language pathologists are highly skilled in addressing feeding and swallowing in infants and children.
Active participation in ongoing professional continuing education programs allows our state licensed speech-language pathologists to create therapy programs which utilize the most current tools and knowledge to help your child.
Some of the specialized treatments offered include:
- Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT)
- Specialized skills in the assessment and treatment of infants
- Sequential Oral Sensory (SOS) Approach to Feeding
- Oral motor techniques
- PROMPT technique
- Beckman oral motor technique
- Implementation of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC)
- Interactive Metronome
- Group treatment to promote social skills (some groups offered in conjunction with occupational therapists to best incorporate strategies to support the sensory system)
