What is a Speech-Language Pathologist

A pediatric speech-language pathologist (SLP) assists with the improvement of your child’s verbal and nonverbal language skills, thus helping them communicate more effectively. An SLP will focus on improving three areas of communication issues — expressive language, repetitive language, and speech. They will help your child develop their feeding and swallowing abilities. Speech therapy also helps children improve in areas such as social skills, auditory processing, and articulation.

Kids SPOT and our children’s speech therapists are dedicated to helping children achieve a greater quality of life by providing high-quality, comprehensive speech therapy. We take the time to meet our client’s personal demands and health requirements to help them achieve a more excellent quality of life while benefitting the entire family.

Some Causes of Speech and Language Delays

Speech and language delays can result from different origins, such as hearing loss, brain injury or deterioration, cerebral palsy, stroke, cleft palate, voice pathology, mental retardation or emotional problems. These causes can be congenital, developmental or acquired. Speech-language pathologists make use of written and oral tests, as well as special instruments, to diagnose the nature and extent of impairment and to record and analyze speech, language, and swallowing irregularities.

Overview of Kids SPOT Services

Kids SPOT offers expert speech, physical and occupational therapy services to infants, kids, teens and young adults. For over 15 years, we’ve been providing comprehensive pediatric therapies, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, in-home applied behavior analysis (ABA) and speech therapy to children from ages birth to 21 years old who are affected by congenital, developmental, learning or physical challenges.

Using a multidisciplinary, comprehensive approach, we focus on enhancing our patients’ behavior, health and functional performance.

Kids SPOT’s Team of Speech-Language Pathologists

Our speech-language pathologists will take time in understanding the child’s needs, lifestyle, and health requirements and will develop a personalized care plan that best suits the patient. For individuals with little or no speech capability, speech-language pathologists may select augmentative or alternative communication methods, including automated devices and sign language, and teach their use.

They teach these individuals how to make sounds, improve their voices, or increase their language skills to communicate more effectively. As such, their responsibilities also include helping patients develop or recover reliable communication skills to support them in fulfilling their educational, vocational, and social roles.
