Idaho Department of Health and Welfare | Infant Toddler Program | Blackfoot Office | Blackfoot Services Complex

If you’re unsure whether your child needs speech therapy, the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare’s Infant Toddler Program at the Blackfoot Office can provide the answers. Our Blackfoot Services Complex provides comprehensive speech therapy services to address communication-related issues in children, such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, and understanding other people’s body language. We understand that there is a critical period in the brain for language development, and so we strive to teach language and communication skills as early as possible. If there are any delays in your child’s language development, our speech therapy services can help them learn effective ways to communicate and grow into more independent and confident individuals.
