Motor Speech Disorders

Expert assessment and individualized intervention for children and adults with motor speech challenges, including apraxia of speech.

Oral Motor Skills

Stabilization, tone, and flexibility of the tongue, lips, and jaw — foundational to clear speech production.

Apraxia of Speech

A common motor speech disorder where children struggle to coordinate the movements needed to produce sounds and words.

Individual Treatment

Personalized one-on-one therapy plans tailored to each child's diagnosis, learning style, and family needs.

Oral motor issues involve stabilization, differentiation, tone, and flexibility of the tongue, lips and jaw. There are different kinds of oral motor disorders.

A common motor speech disorder is apraxia of speech. Children with motor speech disorders will most often have trouble saying sounds, syllables and words, although they know what words they want to say.

Motor speech disorders are determined through the expert assessment of speech-language pathologists and intervention plans are determined based on diagnosis. Children are often more successful when they are initially part of an individual treatment plan versus group sessions.

So much of what I do is not only therapy with the kids, it's also counselling with families and helping. We work together to meet the learning style of the child.
