Pediatric speech and language

The Toddler Speech and Language Group is a fun, play-based group for children between the ages of 18 months to three years with or without speech or language delays.

• Designed with a schedule of activities and transitions to facilitate the child's communication, language, articulation, learning, motor and social-emotional skills and overall development.
• Activities may include singing, musical instruments, art, sensory play, story time, snack and outdoor play. All activities are centered around each child’s speech and language needs.
• Speech-language pathology graduate students provide therapy under the supervision of a certified speech-language pathologist.
• Senior undergraduate speech pathology assistant students also have opportunities to learn and assist in the group.

Preschool children may present with diverse communication disorders. These disorders include but are not limited to speech sound disorders, receptive and expressive language, development, cognitive, self-help skills, fine and gross motor skills and early emergent literacy skills. The goal of the preschool program is to address these issues with the collaboration of students’ caregivers.
