Pediatric Speech Therapy
One of the greatest joys as a parent is seeing your child grow and develop. Each child develops at a different rate. However, mental and physical disorders and other causes can make learning and communication a struggle for many children.
We treat children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. Our work covers a large range of disorders in children. Often, certain disorders—such as cerebral palsy, autism, or Down syndrome—affect a child’s ability to progress normally in speech.
From simple vocalizations to spelling and writing, our team can help. If your child struggles with language skills, choose our pediatric speech therapy in Milwaukee.
Speech Skills involve our ability to communicate our wants and needs to others. In order to communicate, we need say the correct words, with the correct sounds, as well as understand what others are saying to us. Our speech skills are very closely related to our feeding skills because the same muscles are used for both. These skills develop quickly throughout our growing years. Proper development of speech skills requires strength, coordination, postural control, attention, and cognition. It also requires appropriate function of our sensory system.
