What Is Pediatric Speech Therapy?
Pediatric Speech Therapy in Boise, Meridian, & Nampa, Idaho
Speech Therapy (or Speech‑Language Therapy) is more than just talking. It supports:
- Speech Sound Development — helping kids articulate clearly, reduce errors, and be understood
- Language Skills — improving how children understand and use words, sentences, grammar, and conversation
- Social Communication — working on pragmatics, turn-taking, and appropriate social language
- Feeding & Oral Motor — strengthening the muscles needed to chew, swallow, and coordinate tongue and lips
- Fluency / Stuttering — strategies to manage disfluency and increase confidence
- Auditory Processing — helping kids understand and use what they hear
What is a Speech-Language Pathologist?
A speech-language pathologist is a professional who specializes in working with individuals to improve their communication and feeding skills. In pediatrics, a speech-language pathologist works to develop and maximize the child’s speech, language, and feeding skills in a motivating play setting in order to increase their independence and ability to communicate.
