Speech and language are two of the most important areas of communication. Language is our method of communicating through the use of signs and symbols: written, spoken or gestured. Speech is made up of the articulated sounds that are put together to form the spoken symbols of language. The majority of people acquire these communication skills following developmental norms. However, some people need help in acquiring the necessary speech and language skills appropriate to their age. Our speech and language clinician will be working with these children to assist the development of their language skills.
