Speech-Language Therapy

Speech Therapy targets receptive and expressive language skills including vocabulary, listening comprehension, following directions, pragmatics, oral and written expression. Speech Therapists at Central Coast Language and Learning Center Speech Pathology provide individuals and their families with strategies and solutions for resolving communication difficulties.

CCLLC speech and language therapists work with infants through adults on a variety of communication needs. Therapists analyze each client's strengths and weaknesses to develop an individualized treatment program. Therapists set goals and objectives to track over treatment.

CCLLC's philosophy is to provide strong clinical treatment in a relaxed, nurturing environment. Clients make progress when they feel safe and receive positive reinforcement and one-on-one interaction.

Speech therapy sessions are 30, 45 or 60 minutes long. The treatment sessions are goal driven and data based to clearly track improvement and changes in language processing. Therapists receive ongoing training to remain current in the research and methods of treatment.

Some of the areas that speech therapy can address include:

Articulation and Phonological Delays/Disorders
Auditory Processing/Comprehension Disorders
Autistic Spectrum Disorders
Augmentative Alternative Communication
Aphasia
Developmental Apraxia/Dyspraxia
Language Delay/Disorder
Oral Motor Dysfunction
Dysarthria
Pragmatic/Social Language Disorders
Swallowing Disorders
