Therapy Services Tailored to Your Child
We offer a wide range of speech-language services for children from birth through 18 years. Our programs are customized to each child’s developmental needs, learning style, and individual personality.
Articulation & Phonological Disorders
Children may substitute, omit, distort, or add sounds, making speech unclear. We help correct these patterns through fun, repetitive, and research-based techniques to support accurate and intelligible speech.
Language Delays and Disorders (Expressive & Receptive)
Some children struggle to understand what others say (receptive language) or to express their own thoughts and ideas (expressive language). We target vocabulary, grammar, sentence formation, and comprehension through meaningful interaction and play.
Childhood Apraxia of Speech
Apraxia of speech is a motor speech disorder where a child knows what they want to say but have trouble coordinating their muscles to produce their intended sounds. This motor speech disorder is treated by our highly trained therapists who are recommended by CAS.
Social Communication (Pragmatics)
Social language skills are vital for friendships, classroom success, and everyday interactions. Our therapists teach skills like turn-taking, eye contact, perspective-taking, and conversational flow in structured and naturalistic formats.
Fluency Disorders (Stuttering & Cluttering)
Our fluency program helps children reduce disfluencies, build speaking confidence, and develop tools to communicate effectively in all settings. We use supportive techniques to reduce pressure and celebrate progress.
School-Age Communication Support
Clients in elementary and middle school often need help with academic communication: giving presentations, writing summaries, or understanding complex instructions. We support executive function, language organization, and verbal expression tailored to school goals.
Auditory Processing Disorders:
Clients with Auditory Processing Disorders may struggle to understand speech in noisy environments, follow directions, or distinguish between similar sounds. With targeted strategies, our clinicians can help to improve skills for increased success across environments. Our therapists work with audiologists, school professionals and teachers to encourage a holistic approach to supporting our clients.
Feeding Therapy:
Feeding therapy helps children who have trouble eating due to picky eating, sensory sensitivities, medical issues, or behavioral challenges. Through fun, gentle activities, our clinicians help their clients make mealtimes more successful and enjoyable.
Child Development Classes
At Metropolitan Speech and Language Center, we offer engaging, developmentally rich classes designed to support early communication and literacy.
-
These gentle, play-based classes, run by a certified speech pathologist, give babies the opportunity to explore sounds, gestures, and early social interaction-laying the foundation for language through songs, sensory play, and connection.
-
Toddler classes, run by a certified reading specialist, introduce foundational pre-reading skills through storytelling, play, movement, and hands-on literacy activities. It’s a joyful way to nurture a love of books and build early language in a supportive, age appropriate setting.
