Pediatric Speech Therapy

Building Confidence Through Speech

Communication is a vital part of human interaction and social dynamics. When it’s learned starting at a young age, it can break down otherwise difficult barriers and allow children to make connections with their peers. When that learning stalls, on the other hand, communication difficulties will be commonplace in that child’s future. Speech therapy for kids is an invaluable resource if your child is struggling with their speech. At Basal, it’s facilitated by a highly qualified pediatric speech pathologist.

What is Pediatric Speech Therapy?

This therapy has a focus on evaluating and treating language and speech disorders in children. These disorders could encompass difficulties surrounding a variety of language factors:

  • Articulation
  • Voice
  • Fluency
  • Expressive language
  • Receptive language

If your child struggles to form sentences, pronounce certain sounds, or understand language, we incorporate a number of strategies to provide effective speech therapy for kids. Here, they’ll receive the guidance they need to get a grasp on all aspects of communication.

What to Expect From Speech Therapy for Kids

There’s no “one size fits all” approach to speech therapy for kids. As such, no two sessions will be alike. There’s also no set-in-stone routine, as the needs of every child differ. Sessions are tailored to things like the child’s age, abilities, specific challenges, and of course, personality. However, there are a few broad things you can expect from each session:

  • Engaging Activities: We cover play-based techniques, interactive storytelling, and more.
  • Speech Exercises: Our targeted activities aim to improve articulation and pronunciation.
  • Language Development Strategies: These strategies help to build your child’s vocabulary, sentence forming, and comprehension.
  • Parent Involvement: We’ll go over strategies you can implement at home to continue your child’s speech language journey.

The Benefits of Speech Therapy for Kids

  • Improved Communication Skills: Your child’s ability to express their thoughts will be enhanced.
  • Increased Confidence: When they’re able to communicate, children feel more at ease in social settings.
  • Better Academic Performance: Reading, writing, and comprehension skills are all enhanced in tandem with better communication.
  • Stronger Social Skills: Interactions with peers and family members will be more meaningful as a result of improved language skills.
