CCVI is now offering therapies for children in the Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Speech-Language disciplines. This can address communication gaps, gross and fine motor deficiencies, and feeding skills with providers whose area of expertise is vision services.
Speech-Language Pathology
The Speech-Language Team provides evaluations, consultations, and therapies for children with communication or feeding and swallowing disorders.
The providers you will work with are called speech-language pathologists (sometimes shortened to speech pathologists or SLPs). Speech pathologists help children develop communication skills and work with problems with speech, language, cognitive communication, voice, swallowing and fluency.
After your initial evaluation, your care team will work with you to create a plan for your child’s unique needs. Together, the speech-language pathologist and your family will work towards your child’s goals in therapy sessions and through practice at home.
