Pediatric Speech Therapy

Our Services

At Scoop Speech, our therapy is child-led, play-based, evidence-based, and effective. We offer both in-person and teletherapy sessions.

Speech is the way we talk. It’s the precise coordination of the movements of the tongue, lips, jaw, and vocal tract to produce the sounds we need to express language. Articulation and motor speech fall under this category. So do voice and fluency! Voice involves resonance (hyper or hyponasality), volume (loudness), and quality (hoarseness). Fluency involves the rhythm and rate of speech that can impact comprehensibility.

Therapy can assist with children who have trouble producing speech sounds correctly, putting sounds or words together as well as children who stutter or have voice disorders.

Language is what we communicate to others. It’s the way we communicate with others based on a shared understanding and knowledge of the world. Receptive language refers to understanding others. Expressive language refers to communicating thoughts with others. Pragmatic language refers to the social knowledge and skills used to communicate with others to create and maintain social relationships. Language can be expressed through speaking, writing, drawing, gesturing, body movements, and eye contact.

Therapy can assist with receptive language, expressive language, pragmatic language.

Feeding refers to the process of eating or drinking as well as all the behaviors around feeding like sitting at the table, finishing a meal in a timely manner, and eating a variety of age-appropriate foods from all nutritional categories. Feeding is important not only for adequate nutrition and growth development, but also for the social experiences of meal times that are foundational skills as children grow.

Therapy can assist with children who eat a restricted variety and quantity of age-appropriate foods, avoid entire nutritional categories, avoid certain textures or temperatures, pushing or throwing food, spitting food out, crying, or running away to refuse meals.

Swallowing refers to the process of ingesting foods and liquids safely and effectively. There are many complex timing, musculature, and coordination steps needed for that to happen from accepting, manipulating, and transporting foods and liquids to protecting the airway as it moves into the stomach. Swallowing is important for safety so that food and liquids do not enter the airway. It is also important for effectiveness so that adequate amounts can be successfully ingested.

Therapy can assist if any of the following occur while eating and drinking: gagging and coughing, a wet/gurgly voice, watery eyes, food or liquid spills out of the mouth, noticeable effort and strain, low endurance/fatigue, eating too fast or too slow, and difficulty coordinating breathing and swallowing.

"My son has been receiving speech therapy at Scoop Speech for a few months now and he is making such amazing progress! Not only are they helping him with his pronunciation issues, they are so warm and kind that he loves attending his sessions! I highly recommended Scoop Speech!"
