Our Services
Pediatric Speech Therapy
Is your child struggling to learn to read and write? Do they seem reluctant to talk or communicate? Do they have trouble creating certain sounds with their speech? If so, speech and language therapy for children can help. Through working with a pediatric speech therapist, your child will learn to overcome or work around their speech or language difficulties, giving them the best chance at developing a strong, confident voice.
Screenings and Evaluations
Are you noticing your child isn’t hitting the expected developmental milestones? Have they shown some early signs of a speech or language disorder? Or have you always struggled with certain areas of speech or language, but never received a diagnosis? If so, the first step is a speech therapy evaluation. We’ll find out what the root cause of your symptoms are and offer you a treatment plan to address it with speech therapy at home in the Hampton Roads area as well as through online therapy.
