what is Speech therapy?
Speech therapy, also known as speech-language pathology (SLP), is a specialized healthcare service that helps individuals improve their communication, speech, language, voice, and swallowing skills. In California, speech therapy is essential for individuals of all ages, from young children learning to speak to adults recovering from strokes or managing speech disorders.
Speech-language therapy helps people of all ages communicate more effectively and confidently, from supporting little ones as they develop first words, follow directions, and express their needs, to helping adults recover speech, language, or swallowing abilities after illness or injury. For seniors, SLP focuses on maintaining clear communication, memory, and safe swallowing for a better quality of life.
Whether you're in San Diego, Eureka, Ukiah, McKinleyville, Humboldt, Fresno, Merced, Viscilia or Imperial Valley, our speech therapy services are tailored to help you or your loved one communicate more confidently and effectively.
