Florida Pediatric Therapy

At Florida Pediatric Therapy, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. The team of experienced clinicians at Florida Pediatric Therapy can help you determine if your child is a candidate for speech therapy. Speech therapy can provide a range of communication and language development skills, including responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures, and understanding other people’s body language. It is also a critical part of early intervention for children with autism, as language development is a key component of their development. If you are concerned that your child may need speech therapy, our clinicians can help you assess your child’s needs and provide the best treatment plan for their individual needs.

At Florida Pediatric Therapy, our experienced speech therapists can help your child build their communication skills in a variety of ways. We work with children to improve nonverbal skills, such as signs or gestures, as well as their verbal speech. We also help them form their speech in a clearer way, understand and respond to questions, discern facial expressions and their corresponding emotions, notice and understand body language, and improve their feeding and swallowing. Our goal is to help your child communicate effectively with other people across all environments, including the use of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) where needed.
