Speech therapists are specialists who help people of all ages to develop communication skills. They are trained in the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of speech, language, voice, and swallowing disorders.
A physical therapist utilizes various treatment interventions to increase strength, tone, range of motion, and decrease pain so kids can return to their daily activities in the community, home, school, and sports.
AAC stands for Augmentative and Alternative Communication. AAC includes sign language, picture systems to speech generating devices. AAC is for any child unable to communicate using natural speech.
The therapists and ABC have changed the lives of our family. Three years ago, my son began speech therapy at ABC. He had an unrepaired sub-mucosal cleft palate. He spoke only in vowel sounds, and very few people could understand him. After a surgery and many hours of hard work at ABC, my son is close to meeting all his speech/language goals. We could’ve never done it without our wonderful speech therapist, or the friendly staff at ABC. Thank you. - Parent
