What is Speech Therapy ?

Speech Therapy supports individuals of any age in developing and strengthening communication skills needed for daily life, relationships, and learning. Speech Therapy focuses on improving how a person understands language, expresses ideas, and engages socially with others.

At Kinnect, Speech Therapy is individualized, practical, and family-centered.

Speech Therapy may help with:

• Expressive language (using words, sentences, and ideas)
• Receptive language (understanding spoken language)
• Articulation and speech sound development
• Social communication and pragmatic language
• Conversation skills
• Functional communication
• Language organization and clarity

Services are tailored to the unique strengths and needs of each individual.

• Assessment & goal-setting: We begin with a comprehensive review of communication strengths, challenges, and family priorities. Therapy goals are developed collaboratively and adjusted as progress is made.
• Individualized interventions: Sessions are structured to build communication skills through engaging, developmentally appropriate activities.
• Intervention may include:

1. Play-based communication support
2. Structured language development
3. Social communication practice
4. Skill-building within meaningful routines

• Family involvement: Caregivers receive guidance and strategies to help support communication growth outside of therapy sessions.
• Progress monitoring: Programs are continuously reviewed and adjusted based on data, progress, and family feedback.

• Stronger communication and language development
• Clearer speech and improved understanding
• Increased confidence in social interactions
• Greater independence in expressing needs and ideas
