Our Speech and Language Pathologists will help your child improve their communication skills
If your child is struggling with spelling or reading, speech therapy is the best treatment. At Sonrisas Therapies, we help kids with a variety of spoken and written language problems, such as dyspraxia, dyslexia, and auditory processing disorder. First, we figure out what kind of language problem your child has, and then we determine what’s causing it and use that information to decide on the best treatment. Speech therapy is especially beneficial when kids begin it early in life. Don’t postpone the start of treatment.
