What is Speech Language Pathology?
Speech Language Pathology is a field of practice that diagnoses speech, language, cognitive, voice and swallowing disorders., which all fall under the umbrella term of communication disorders. Through the use of standardized and non-standardized assessments the Speech Language Pathologist identifies the area(s) of impairment and creates a plan of treatment to habilitate or rehabilitate communication. The goal of speech therapy is to optimize communication skills, thus improving quality of life.
“Loneliness does not come from having no one around us, but, instead, from being unable to communicate the things that matter most to us.”
– Carl Jung
Why Speech Bar?
Being the parent of a child who requires extra support for their language development is a major feat. I see you. Once I was on the other side of “the system” I witnessed first-hand the disparity between how many children need services and how limited resources were available. Coupled with the increasing demand modern families face to maintain a liveable standard of living, adding another “thing” to your plate can feel impossible. Speech Bar provides guidance, support, resources with the ultimate goal of empowering you, the parent, to support your child despite your other responsibilities.
Who is Speech Bar for?
Speech Bar is for you if you work full-time outside of the home or are a stay at home parent with multiple children, are not getting any speech therapy services (or not enough) and you want to help your child with just 10 minutes a day to spare.
