Communication is essential to all of us, but especially children. Without age-appropriate speech and language skills, children may struggle while interacting with therapists, peers, parents, and teachers, and certainly in the academic areas of reading, writing and spelling. The Clinic provides the needed intervention for these children so that their self-esteem, socialization skills, and academic success are positive. All services are provided to families at no charge.
