Trouble communicating impacts children’s ability to express needs, share ideas, and develop relationships. Our certified speech-language pathologists (SLPs) build speech, language, and social communication skills to facilitate success in academic, social, and home environments.
Communication is fundamental to our ability to build relationships, learn, and participate in everyday activities. Speech and language disorders can impact a child in every sphere of life, including at home, in the classroom, with peers, and for safety and medical care. Speech and language disorders can involve various skill sets, including:
Our highly skilled speech language pathologists hold a master’s degree in their field and receive regular education on current and effective therapy techniques. We are a compassionate, dedicated, and knowledgeable team who love what we do. Our speech therapists are experts in assessing and treating communication challenges related to a variety of diagnoses including, but not limited to:
For those whose verbal communication is insufficient to meet their needs, we also provide support and training for accessing augmentative and alternative methods of communication.
Our speech therapists also work collaboratively with our occupational therapists to provide well-rounded care for feeding and swallowing disorders.
Seattle Therapy: Skills for Life
Speech therapy services will begin with a comprehensive speech and language evaluation, including a parent interview, that will highlight strengths and challenges across various areas of communication. Your certified speech therapist will create individualized and measurable goals based on the data collected during the evaluation process, as well as provide recommendations regarding the frequency of therapy and relevant supports for environments such as home and school.
Therapy will consist of hour-long appointments, allowing your child to dive deeply into meaningful, functional therapeutic activities during every session. Our therapy is play-based and holistic. STS stands out amongst service providers because we provide wraparound care*, meaning our services extend beyond our clinic, reaching your child in all areas of life. Our speech therapy is:
COLLABORATIVE. At STS, we prioritize collaboration across care providers, including other therapists, teachers, and families. This allows for a robust treatment plan with consistent expectations and strategies, leading to maximal outcomes. Collaboration with family is of utmost importance to us because we know that you are the expert on your child!
FLEXIBLE. Speech therapy at STS is tailored to meet the needs of each individual we serve. We can shift between in-person and remote services as needed, or can visit a child at home or school to better understand their needs. We have options for cotreatment, dyads, and small groups when it is determined that these modes will best support a child’s development. We offer a variety of scheduling options so that appointment frequency best fits the needs of each child and family.
MEANINGFUL. Our compassionate speech therapists know how to incorporate each child’s strengths and interests into therapy so they feel empowered and motivated to grow. Our therapy model ensures every goal supports functional skills that prompt measurable change in a child’s everyday life.
It can be difficult to know when to seek professional support. Understanding the speech and language skills expected at your child’s age can help. You can contact your child’s pediatrician to learn about typical communication development throughout early childhood and elementary school years. Our free SLP screening outlines expectations and warning signs for speech and language disorder. Identification and treatment of speech and language disorders should begin as early as possible to maximize positive outcomes. If you have concerns about your child’s communication, seek an evaluation with a certified speech language pathologist.
