At Riverbend Pediatric Therapy, we provide many types of pediatric therapy to help your child. You can rest easy knowing that your child’s treatment will be as seamless as possible through our integrated care plans.
We work with children of all ages and ensure the best quality of care for each child. Our patients face developmental delays and have challenges meeting their milestones with speech and language, making it difficult for them to interact with others, learn, explore, and play.
Riverbend Pediatric Therapy in Covington and Hammond, LA strives to create a warm and encouraging environment for your child to improve their speech, language, and gross motor skills. Our therapist’s ultimate goal is to create a customized therapy plan tailored specifically to the communication challenges your child is experiencing.
Speech Therapy
When a child experience speech delays, it can cause them to develop self-esteem issues and cease communicating with others out of insecurity or embarrassment. Riverbend Pediatric Therapy offers pediatric speech services to our patients.
Several things can result in your child having difficulty with speech; our therapists can pinpoint any underlying issues your child might have.
Pediatric speech therapy can address the following speech conditions/difficulties:
- Muscle weakness, tightness in the throat or tongue
- Difficulty speaking and understanding spoken language
- Difficulty understanding written language
- Changes in memory, attention, orientation
- Changes in the quality of voice
- Chewing or swallowing difficulties (which poses a health risk)
- Difficulty expressing thoughts or identifying common objects or people
Pediatric speech therapists can help your child learn to communicate, chew and swallow properly, and help improve their overall morale. They utilize neurological and speech exercises to help with a wide array of speech/language difficulties, and will be able to assess your child’s speaking abilities. This way they can determine if there are any problems, and then create a treatment plan with specific exercises to improve it.
The key to pediatric speech therapy, as with therapy in general, is to challenge your child while fostering a warm and welcoming environment. Your child thus develops skills while having fun at the same time! When these two aspects of therapy remain in balance with each other, your child will be able to make sustained progress toward their goals and ultimately maximize their potential.
If your child is having difficulties with their speech, it doesn’t have to be a cause for worry. Contact our office today to schedule an appointment with one of our pediatric speech therapists.
