Speech Therapy

Davies Institute of Speech & Hearing “DISH” was founded to provide families with a unique, supportive environment for their child’s language and developmental needs. Our team of experts, teachers, and speech therapists are trained to diagnose and treat each individual child while also working directly with parents.

Our Speech language pathologists treat receptive and expressive language disorders in the pediatric population. Speech language pathologists can also evaluate and treat oral motor concerns (chewing and swallowing), voice, fluency, articulation, and social language skills.

Speech therapy services may include the following

Articulation & Phonogical Disorders:

Articulation/phonological disorders refers to difficulty producing speech sounds characterized by substitutions, distortions or omissions and additions. It can also include difficulty with speech intelligibility.

Childhood Apraxia of Speech:

Articulation & Phonogical Disorders:

Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is a motor-speech disorder that makes it difficult for a child to speak. A child with CAS knows what they want to say. The problem is not how the child thinks but how the brain tells the mouth muscles to move.

Fluency Disorders:

Auditory Verbal Therapy:

Fluency is an interruption in the flow of speaking characterized by atypical rate rhythm and disfluencies (stuttering, repetition of sounds, syllables, words and phrases.)

Auditory Verbal Therapy:

Children with hearing difficulties often require speech therapy for oral and motor memory. One popular method is Auditory-Verbal Therapy (AVT). Auditory verbal therapy promotes spoken language through listening by infants and young children who are deaf or hard of hearing. AVT also includes parents and caregivers who actively participate in therapy as the child's primary model for spoken language.
