Language Therapy
Language Therapy targets a broad range of communicative skills including expressive language skills (speaking, writing, signing, etc.), receptive language skills (listening, reading, processing, etc.), and pragmatic language skills (understanding and following unspoken rules of social communication). Megan has completed training in Lindamood Bell's Visualizing and Verbalizing (V/V) Program for reading and listening comprehension.
Speech Sound Therapy
Speech Sound Therapy targets the spoken production of speech sounds. We offer both articulation approaches and phonological approaches to speech sound therapy. Articulation approaches target individual sound deviations, while phonological approaches target groups of sounds with similar error patterns. At ESTEEM Speech and Literacy, we will work with each individual client to identify the best approach for remediating speech sound errors.
