Speech Therapy

Body

Speech therapy will assess your child’s communication and feeding skills to develop an optimal course of treatment through:

  • Sensory-based feeding strategies
  • Instrumental assessment of swallowing skills:
    • Video Fluoroscopy Swallow Study (VFSS): An X-ray assessment of swallowing capabilities
    • Fiberopticendoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES): A transnasal scope that provides a visual assessment of the pharyngeal structural integrity and levels of secretion.
  • Collaboration with our Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) Center to facilitate and expand your child’s language skills using:
    • AAC communication devices, ranging from manual communication boards to voice generating computers, provide increased opportunities for self-expression. If your child’s manual dexterity is limited, we can adapt these tools to function with a joystick, alternative keyboard, switches or eye movement.
