What is Speech-Language Therapy?
Speech-Language Therapy is a profession that specializes in the evaluation and treatment of disorders and delays that limit a child’s ability to communicate either verbally or non-verbally and/or demonstrate age-appropriate feeding skills. The Speech-Language Therapists at Pathways specialize in remediating and developing these delays with highly individualized intervention programs.
Our Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologists provide evaluation, intervention, and consultation in the following areas:
- Augmentative and alternative communication (use of pictures or devices to communicate)
- Autism diagnosis with the administration and interpretation of the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-Second Edition (ADOS-2) - Module 3
- Dysphagia (sucking, feeding, and swallowing)
- Expressive language (communicating wants and needs)

- Oral motor (movement of tongue, teeth, lips, and jaw)
