Pediatric Speech Therapy
Apex Integrated Therapy Services provides speech therapy services for children and adolescents who may be experiencing challenges with communication, language, or social interaction. Our goal is to support communication skills that help children succeed at home, in school, and in everyday interactions.
How We Help
We take a child-centered, functional approach to speech therapy that prioritizes real-world communication. Services are designed to be supportive, engaging, and responsive to each child’s developmental level and learning style. Speech therapy services are individualized and may focus on:
Language development (understanding and using words, sentences, and concepts)
Articulation and speech sound production (child may say "tat" instead of "cat")
Pragmatic and social communication skills (taking turns in conversation, understanding social cues, staying on topic, and interacting appropriately with peers and adults)
Therapy goals are tailored to each child’s needs and may be coordinated with other supports when appropriate.
