Speech Therapy Services

Communication is at the heart of every child's development—whether they’re expressing their needs, building friendships, or thriving in school. Challenges with speech, language, or oral motor/feeding skills can impact their ability to connect with the world around them. At ACT Therapy Services, we provide individualized speech therapy designed to address your child's unique needs, helping them develop the skills they need to succeed academically, socially, and in everyday life. Our compassionate therapists focus not only on improving communication and feeding abilities but also on building confidence and fostering a sense of independence.

How can my child benefit from Speech Therapy?

Speech therapy is more than just addressing sounds and words—it's about giving your child the tools to thrive in every aspect of their life. Whether your child is working on improving their articulation, expanding their vocabulary, or developing feeding and oral motor skills, speech therapy focuses on building skills that foster independence, confidence, and meaningful connections with others.

Below, you'll find common areas we address in therapy, including specialty treatments tailored to support your child's unique needs. Explore the list to see how our services can make a difference for your child and family.

Articulation Therapy

An articulation disorder is the decreased production of sounds including substitutions, omissions, additions or distortions that may result in reduced speech intelligibility.

Language Therapy

Language therapy focuses on improving a child’s use of grammar, vocabulary, comprehension and social use of language.

Oral Motor Therapy(OMT)/Oral Placement Therapy (OPT)

Oral Motor Therapy (OMT)/Oral Placement Therapy (OPT): Oral Placement Therapy is a speech therapy which utilizes a combination of: (1) auditory stimulation, (2) visual stimulation and (3) tactile stimulation to the mouth to improve speech clarity.

Augmentative & Alternative Communication (AAC)

AAC is a type of communication, other than speech. AAC can include low-tech options (pictures) to high-tech options (computerized speaking devices). Our therapists are trained in selecting an appropriate type of AAC for your child which will be incorporated into the home setting as well. Learn more about our AAC offerings here

Early Intervention

Early intervention refers to the treatment of children from 0-3 years old. This is parent directed and play-based therapy that takes place in your home or child’s preschool/daycare.

Feeding Therapy

We provide feeding therapy to infants, toddlers and children who have difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) or oral motor issues limiting their feeding and swallowing.

Executive Functioning

Executive functions consist of fundamental skills that allow the brain to organize and act on information. These skills enable people to plan, organize, remember things, prioritize, pay attention and get started on tasks. They also help people use information and experiences from the past to solve current problems. Whether it’s binder organization, time management, study skills, forgetting things or appointments, we can help provide your child with visuals, technology and training to help build executive functioning skills.
