Melssa Swander, Speech/Language Therapist

At Melssa Swander, Speech/Language Therapist, we understand how important it is to recognize when your child may need speech therapy. While it’s almost always recommended for autistic children, even those who are very verbal may benefit from therapy to help with communication skills. Our guide to speech therapy can help you identify if your child may need help, understand the critical period for language development, and learn more about how speech therapy can help your child develop into a more independent and confident individual.

Melssa Swander, Speech/Language Therapist, specializes in helping children of all ages communicate effectively. Our speech therapy services focus on improving nonverbal skills, forming speech in a clearer way, expressing thoughts and feelings, understanding and responding to questions, discerning facial expressions and emotions, noticing and understanding body language, and improving feeding and swallowing. Additionally, we provide Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) services to help children communicate in all environments. Our experienced team is here to help your child reach their communication goals.
