Speech/Language 

Creating Pathways Pediatric Therapy strives to offer evidence based therapy that we want your child to enjoy.  When following a child centered approach, Speech/language therapy can be fun!  Arming yourself with the most up-to-date information possible when deciding whether-or-not your child is in need of speech/language therapy is essential.  In conjunction with a formal speech/language evaluation, we recommend gaining information regarding your child's skills and needs from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).

FINDING THE RIGHT PROFESSIONAL to work with your child is essential.  The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association recommends contacting an ASHA certified speech/language pathologist to focus on prevention, identification, assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation.  Creating Pathways Pediatric Therapy employs licensed processionals who hold their Certificate of Clinical Competence from ASHA.
