Heartland Speech & Language

At Heartland Speech & Language, we understand how important it is to recognize and address any speech or communication delays in your child. Our team of qualified speech-language pathologists can help your child develop the language and communication skills needed to thrive. If you are wondering if your child may need speech therapy, there are some signs you can look for. Speech therapy is often recommended for autistic children, as many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Additionally, even if your child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they may still benefit from speech therapy to refine communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, and understanding body language. If you believe your child may need speech therapy, Heartland Speech & Language can provide the resources and guidance needed to help them develop the language and communication skills needed for success.

At Heartland Speech & Language, we believe that speech therapy can help your child in a variety of ways. We are dedicated to helping your child communicate effectively in all environments, whether that be through gestures, verbal speech, or Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). Our experienced speech therapists can help your child improve in areas such as nonverbal skills, forming speech in a clearer way, communicating thoughts and feelings, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions and their corresponding emotions, noticing and understanding body language, and feeding and swallowing. Stuttering can also be addressed. We strive to provide the highest quality of care to help your child reach their communication goals.
