How Speech Therapy Works

Speech therapy aims to improve overall communication by using specialized activities and techniques to address disorders and delays in the following areas:

  • Cognitive skills
  • Feeding and swallowing
  • Fluency/stuttering
  • Social language
  • Apraxia of speech
  • Oral motor dysfunction
  • Picky eating/ avoids certain textures
  • Articulation
  • Expressive and receptive language

Our Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) here at AHHC assess, diagnose, treat, and help to prevent speech, language, cognitive, communication, voice, swallowing, fluency and other related disorders.
