Developmental language disorder (DLD) is a communication disorder that disrupts the acquisition, comprehension, and use of language. These language challenges are not attributed to other conditions like hearing impairments or autism, nor are they due to external factors such as insufficient language exposure. DLD can impact a child's abilities in speaking, listening, reading, and writing.

Stuttering is a speech disorder that can make it difficult to speak fluently, causing interruptions like repetitions, prolongations, or blocks in speech. Together, we’ll explore techniques to improve fluency, build confidence, and develop strategies to manage stuttering in everyday conversations.

Cluttering is a speech disorder that affects the flow of speech, often causing fast, disorganized, or unclear speech that can be hard for others to understand. Speech therapy can help by providing strategies to slow down speech, improve clarity, and organize thoughts for smoother communication.

Articulation is the process by which humans produce sounds, syllables, and words. A child with an articulation disorder might struggle to produce specific sounds or may form certain sounds incorrectly. This can make the child's speech difficult to understand, impacting their social interactions and learning. Speech therapy can help by providing exercises and strategies to improve pronunciation and communication.

Voice disorders affect the pitch, volume, or quality of your voice, making it difficult to communicate clearly or comfortably. If you’re experiencing hoarseness, strain, or any changes in your voice, speech therapy can help by providing strategies to improve vocal health, strengthen your voice, and regain clarity.

Social pragmatic language skills involve understanding and using language in social situations, such as taking turns in conversation, reading body language, and adjusting speech to fit different contexts. If you or your child struggle with these skills, speech therapy can help by providing strategies to improve social communication and build stronger connections with others, including practice with real-life scenarios, enhancing understanding of social cues, and building confidence in navigating conversations.

Aphasia is a language disorder that affects a person's ability to speak, understand, read, or write, usually due to brain injury or stroke. If you or a loved one is experiencing aphasia, speech therapy can provide tailored strategies to improve communication skills, whether it’s expressing thoughts, understanding language, or improving reading and writing abilities.

Cognitive disorders affect memory, attention, problem-solving, and other mental processes, making everyday tasks challenging. If you or a loved one are experiencing cognitive difficulties, I can help by providing strategies to improve focus, memory, and thinking skills. Working on strengthening cognitive abilities through personalized exercises and techniques to enhance daily functioning will help boost confidence with everyday communication.

Dysarthria is a motor speech disorder that affects the muscles used for speaking, making it difficult to pronounce words clearly and control the voice. If you or a loved one are struggling with dysarthria, speech therapy can help by providing targeted exercises to strengthen speech muscles, improve clarity, and enhance breath control.

Dementia and memory challenges can affect a person's ability to recall information, recognize familiar faces, or navigate daily tasks. If you or a loved one are experiencing memory difficulties, speech therapy can help by providing strategies to enhance memory, improve daily functioning, and maintain independence.

Children and adults with severe speech or language difficulties may need alternative ways to communicate beyond speaking. Various types of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) are available, and we can help you explore your options and learn how to use them.
