Speech & Language Therapy provides treatment, support and cares for children who have difficulties with speech, language, or swallowing.In NIARC, our Speech therapists work with children ilndividually on programs such as Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS), articulation programs and auditory-verbal therapy.
We also have group therapy sessions to promote interaction, communication, and social skills. These programs are individualized according to a child’s abilities and needs. The therapists work with parents to train them on how to encourage their children to communicate more. For children who require support with feeding or have swallowing difficulties, safe feeding strategies and swallowing techniques are also taught.
