Speech Therapy

A speech-language pathologist helps your child communicate effectively using clear speech sounds in words and sentences to share their thoughts. They help your child follow directions and respond to questions appropriately.

They help children learn to tell about things (sequencing) that have happened in the past and future, to greet others, comment, and ask questions to initiate and maintain a conversation. To communicate we have to organize our thoughts, pay attention, remember, and plan all at the same time.

Areas of concern: expressive and receptive language delays/disorders, articulation of speech sounds, social interactions and conversation, sequencing stories

SPEECH. SOUNDS.
You may be having difficulty understanding what your child is saying. Let us practice with your child the speech sounds that are troublesome. Conveying a clear message to adults and peers is a crucial component in relationship building. Whether your child has a few speech sound errors or motor planning difficulties leading to multiple speech errors, we can help you along the way. We can talk about what typical speech development looks like and what sounds would be appropriate to work on in a session. Sessions are full of fun and games. Children enjoy coming to speech at Wildflowers.
TALKING. UNDERSTANDING.
We use a variety of words and sentence types to share our thoughts. Beginning with your child’s first words, we can help your child create successful messages to connect with others and keep an interaction going. We also must understand what others are saying to respond appropriately. Let us assist your child in learning how to follow directions and understand questions. Work on building vocabulary through word associations, categorization, and basic concepts. Let’s enhance your child’s language through describing, comparing and contrasting, sequencing sentences, and using correct grammar. Academic success and the development of friendships are impacted by our use and understanding of language. These areas are called expressive and receptive language.

Conversation. Friendships.
Reciprocity of conversation using questions and comments around a central topic is important for social relationships. A speech-language pathologist can assist in learning how to participate in a successful conversation. The complexities of a conversation requires one to understand what others are saying and doing, remember what was said, and consider others emotions and thoughts in order to respond appropriately. Expressive and receptive language, body language, memory, flexible thinking, perspective taking are key players in the complexities of a successful social interaction. Let’s dig a little deeper to learn more about conversations together.
Sharing Stories. Sequencing.
Think about how often you share what you did over the weekend with your friends, family, and co-workers. Think about how often you use multiple sentences together to share story that happened in the past or coming up in the future. Think about how often you provide directions on how to do something. These are all areas that require something called “sequencing.”

You must sequence various sentences together in order of beginning, middle, and end. Many children have difficulty doing this. Your child comes home from school, and you ask, “What did you do at school today?” The common response is, “Nothing!” That is the perfect opportunity to sequence the day. Even just simply saying three areas really can spark a nice back and forth conversation. A speech-language pathologist can assist with helping your child sequence and share stories successfully.
