What Is Pediatric Speech Therapy?

Speech therapy is a specialized approach that helps children master the skills they need to communicate with others. Our SLPs work with you to develop your child’s speech and language skills through parent coaching and education so that you can help your child shine. This can include:

  • Teaching you games and strategies to do that will build your child’s oral motor skills for clear and fluent speech
  • Working with your child during their normal routine at home to develop stronger speech and language skills
  • Giving you strategies to use at home when your child struggles to share or understand ideas
  • Explaining the causes of your child’s struggles and what you can do to handle them

“Laura was my daughter’s speech therapist for just over 1 year, and the whole experience was incredible. Not only did my daughter’s speech improve but my daughter also loved every session. From my end, scheduling was flexible and Laura was always respectful of my time. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience in a somewhat challenging time in my daughter’s life.”

“Miss Ericca is a 5-star Speech Therapist in the way she brought our 2.5-year-old son to communicate by learning and using new words and vocabulary. Miss Ericca genuinely cared for our son and managed to build a great relationship with both my son and my wife, all in such a short time period. The results are amazing. We highly recommend Radiant Speech Therapy and Miss Ericca in particular. We are very grateful for their assistance.”
