Pediatric Speech Therapy

Helping Children Build Stronger Communication Skills

How Can Speech Therapy Help Your Child?

Children develop communication skills at different rates. Some children may have difficulty expressing their wants and needs, understanding language, producing certain sounds, or communicating effectively with others.

 

Pediatric speech therapy is designed to identify your child’s individual communication needs and help them develop skills they can use at home, at school, and in everyday life.

 

At Ascend, our speech therapy services are personalized around each child’s strengths, needs, and developmental goals.

Ascend's Approach

Ascend’s Approach to Pediatric Speech Therapy

At Ascend, speech therapy starts with understanding your child as an individual. Our speech-language professionals identify your child’s strengths, communication needs, and goals and develop an individualized approach designed to help them make meaningful progress.

 

Therapy is engaging, supportive, and designed with real-life communication in mind. As children build new skills, our goal is to help them use those skills beyond therapy, at home, at school, in conversations, and throughout their everyday routines.

Who Can Receive Speech Therapy at Ascend?

Ascend provides pediatric speech therapy for children ages 2-8.

 

Children do not need an autism diagnosis and do not need to be enrolled in Ascend’s ABA program to receive speech therapy.

 

That last part should visually prominent because it’s one of the most important differences between this service and the traditional Ascend Autism offering.
