Articulation refers to how we produce speech sounds with our mouth, lips, and tongue. Phonology involves the patterns and rules of sounds in speech. Individuals with difficulties in these areas may be hard to understand or may replace, leave out, or mix up certain sounds.

Language is how we understand and use words to communicate. This includes vocabulary, grammar, following directions, asking questions, and telling stories. Language difficulties can affect both how an individual understands others (receptive language) and how they express themselves (expressive language).

AAC includes tools and strategies—such as picture boards, communication apps, or speech-generating devices—that support individuals who have difficulty using spoken language. AAC can supplement or, in some cases, replace speech, and is always tailored to each person’s unique communication needs. Backed by research, AAC has been shown to enhance communication, support language development, and improve overall quality of life.

Early Intervention provides support for babies and toddlers (birth to age 3) who may be experiencing delays in speech, language, or other developmental areas. It focuses on building strong communication skills during the most important years of brain development, and it often involves play-based therapy and coaching for families to support progress at home.

ASD is a developmental condition that can affect how a person communicates, interacts with others, and processes the world around them. Every person with autism is unique. Speech therapy can support communication, social skills, and daily interactions in meaningful ways.

Fluency, also known as stuttering, refers to the flow and rhythm of speech. Fluency difficulty may include repeating sounds or words, stretching out sounds, or getting "stuck" when speaking. Therapy helps reduce tension, build confidence, and support smoother speech.
