SPEECH THERAPY

BLUEBONNET PEDIATRIC SPEECH THERAPY

What is Speech Therapy?

Pediatric speech therapy helps with communication challenges in children.  Children may have difficulties with expressive language (how they speak) or receptive language (how they understand language).  Speech therapy may also address difficulties with oral motor skills, articulation, auditory processing, and social skills.
