Speech Therapy
Effective communication is a fundamental aspect of our lives. It is crucial in our ability to learn, play, express ourselves, interact with others, and ultimately, to live a healthy and fulfilling life. Good communication skills enable us to connect with the world around us and engage with its diverse people, cultures, and ideas. In short, communication is the key to success in every aspect of life.
Speech Therapy
Clear communication is essential for a child’s emotional well-being.
Without it, life can be frustrating, confusing, and even hopeless. Effective communication, whether it’s through words, pictures, sign language, or augmentative means, makes the world a friendlier place to be in.
The experienced Speech-Language Pathologists at Long Island Speech and Feeding Therapy will help your child communicate effectively and lead a fulfilling life.
Our main objective is to assist your child in overcoming communication difficulties, including but not limited to:
- Expressive Language Skills (saying first words, naming objects, creating sentences, having conversations)
- Receptive Language Skills (following directions and understanding words)
- Speech Sound Production (articulating and producing speech sounds)
- Pragmatic Skills (social communication which includes gestures, facial expressions, social conversation)
- Voice (pitch, volume, vocal quality)
