Speech Therapy

What is Speech Therapy?
The Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) helps children develop a communication system with their family and peers so they can effectively communicate their wants, needs and ideas. SLP’s can address delays in communication, receptive and expressive language, speech, and emergent literacy. They can also work with children who have feeding/swallowing issues by engaging the child in activities that promote oral motor skills needed for chewing and safe swallowing.
Our Approach
STARS has a dedicated team of therapists that are committed to providing your child and family with quality early intervention services. STARS’ therapists are state licensed and/or hold a Bachelor, Master, or Doctorate degree in their area of expertise. Continuing education is essential and all therapists are required to complete at least 24 hours of training each year. At STARS, we recognize that parents and caregivers know their children better than anyone, and are committed to making family/caregivers an integral part of treatment sessions.
