Speech Therapy In Langley Can Help!

Speech therapy Langley is the assessment and treatment of communication delays and disorders.  Speech-Language Pathologists work with clients to improve their communication skills and provide strategies and techniques to generalize these skills at home.  We also integrate and communicate with teachers, parents, and other healthcare professionals where needed.

Who Are Our Speech Pathologists?

Speech-language pathologists, also called SLPs, are experts in communication. They work with people of all ages, from toddlers to elders, and treat many types of communication and swallowing problems. These include problems with:

Speech sounds

Speech sounds is how we put sounds and say sounds to put words together. Other words for these problems are articulation or phonological disorders, apraxia of speech (a motor planning disorder that makes it difficult to sequence the movements needed for speech), or dysarthria (weakness of the muscles used for speech).

Language

Language is how well we understand what we hear or read and how we use words to tell others what we are thinking and feeling. Some adults also have difficulty with language, which is often the result of a stroke, in which case they may have a disorder called aphasia.

Literacy

This is regarding how well we read and write. It is possible that if you have a speech or language disorder, you might also have some issues with spelling, writing or even reading. 

Social communication

Social communication is about how well we follow social rules. This includes waiting for your turns, how to adapt your speech level in different situations, or how close you should be when talking to someone. This is also known as pragmatics.

Voice

This is about how our voices sound. We may lose our voice often, have a voice that sounds hoarse, talk loudly without meaning to or simply talking from our noses. This also includes being unable to make sounds.

Fluency

This is also referred to as stuttering. It is how well our speech flows in a conversation. When stuttering, a person may uncontrollably repeat sounds. For example, use “um” or “uh,”, stutter by saying words like t-t-t-table or simply use as lot of pause when we are talking. A lot of young kids will go through a stuttering phase, but most will outgrow it. If you need help, you can ask us about speech therapy in Langley.

Cognitive-Communication

This is how well our minds work with memory, problem solving, organization, attention and more. There is so much that speech therapy in Langley can do for this!

Feeding and swallowing

A swallowing disorder can possibly lead to disorders related to poor nutrition, weight loss, and more. This is also known as dysphagia.

What is Speech Therapy Langley?

It is my passion to work with children and support them to become confident and successful communicators. I recognize the importance of working closely with families to provide the best possible treatment outcomes. My approach to therapy is supporting children where they are and building upon their skills. I graduated with a Master of Arts in Communication Disorders from Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina. I have worked in public schools for over 14 years.

I have diverse experience working with children with a variety of speech and language disorders, including childhood apraxia of speech, stuttering, autism spectrum disorder, Down Syndrome, and Cerebral Palsy. I enjoy supporting children who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) and have experience with Go Talk Now, TouchChat, Proloquo2go, LAMP, and Snap plus Core First. I strive to build on the strengths of the child in a fun and positive environment, leading to improved communication and social connections with others.
