Speech-Language Intervention

Articulation/Phonology

Does your child have difficulty saying certain speech sounds? Are they difficult to understand? Articulation/Phonology sessions address: 

• Speech sound errors

• Phonological Processes: final consonant deletion "ca/cat", cluster reduction "poon/spoon"

• Overall intelligibility (how well they are understood by others). 

Language

​Language intervention can target the following areas:

• Early Intervention: first words, play, following directions

• Expressive Language: sentence length, grammar, syntax skills

• Receptive Language: Understanding prepositions (in, on, under), following directions, answering questions, temporal concepts (before/after, first/then).

Fluency (Stuttering)

Stuttering is a fluency disorder characterized by specific disfluencies including repetitions, prolongations and blocks impacting the flow of speech. Ms. Kerry uses an individualized approach to treatment to help support each child's goals.
