A Full-Scope Approach To Communication.

Articulation
This area of speech focuses on the production of sounds, words, placement of tongue when speaking and helping children to be understood.
Fluency
Stuttering, choppy and robotic speech are all signs of disfluency. A major Part of a child using their voice is the ability to fluently convey ideas.
Voice and Resonance
Did you know that if your child has a raspy voice or hoarseness it can be coached out with voice and resonance training?
Communication Modalities
For children that are unable to express themselves verbally, we use Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) to develop a system of non-verbal communication.
Hearing
Often times children may have a hard time following directions beyond two steps. This is caused by underdeveloped receptive language skills.
Swallowing
Believe it or not, if your child is having a hard time eating it could be due to a swallowing disorder. There are speech and language development exercises that will correct this problem.
Receptive / Expressive Language
Learning words and stringing them together coupled with gestures such as a head nod or thumbs up is a major part of language. This a skill we develop in all children we have the pleasure to work with.
Cognitive Assessments of Communication
Cognitive refers to the brain. There are times brain function can affect attention span, awareness, memory and reasoning. Theses skills are not innate and can be taught through speech therapy.
Social Aspects of Communication
Understanding verbal and non-verbal cues, talking differently to adults vs. children and engaging in conversation is the most important aspect of communication. We cover it all!
NOTE. Speech therapy covers more than just speech, language and communication. At Puzzle Piece Kids, we implement life skills training in all speech and language development therapy. Children and teens do much better when they are able to adapt to any environment whether at home, school or in the community in Dallas or Mesquite Texas area.
