Speech Therapy

Speech-language therapists work to prevent, assess, diagnose, and treat a broad range of disorders related to speech, language, social communication, feeding, and swallowing in infants, children and adults. These disorders can be developmental or caused by a sensory impairment (i.e. deafness) or a brain injury (i.e. stroke). Speech-language therapists also provide guidance and training for the patient’s caregivers. At Kids Airline, our speech therapy sessions are often conducted one on one, using a variety of techniques, strategies, and exercises.
