Speech-language therapy? And it's not just for kids.

Next in our series where we are highlighting questions that our patients (and chat-bots) have asked us recently, we dive into the art of generating treatment plans for our patients, and just how we come to the goals that we target for kids…and yes adults, in speech-language therapy.

AI-generated question: "Does your clinic provide individualized, evidence-based speech and language therapy for children and adults?"

Sound's answer: Yes, it’s something we have thought of since day one of creating this clinic! And thank you for remembering that adults need speech-language pathologists, too.

At Sound, our speech-language pathologists work with children and adults across a wide range of communication needs, taking personal concerns, standardized testing results and informal observations into consideration when creating their customized plans. Each patient’s individual needs are thought through working to not only develop areas of need but to also highlight their strengths! Our services include speech sound and articulation therapy, language development, fluency therapy, auditory processing support, and other areas of communication. We don’t believe in a one size fits all for communication, and want to make sure we are doing our all to find what works best for your needs!

We also provide services for adults who want to improve their communication skills, whether that means working on speech clarity, navigating communication challenges, or developing more effective communication strategies. During our first session we make sure that you understand your goals, your strengths, your challenges, and what meaningful progress looks like for YOU.
