Pediatric and Adolescent Speech-Language Pathology

Who we are

We are a speech-language pathology service that specializes in evaluating and treating children and adolescents between the ages of 18 months and 18 years of age with a variety of speech and language disorders in our Ambulatory Care Center located at 159 Wells Avenue, Newton, MA 02459.

Services we provide 

Comprehensive speech-language evaluations and treatment are all conducted in one-to-one sessions by monolingual English speaking speech-language pathologists. Referrals may come from a pediatrician or other physician, parent, teacher or another speech-language pathologist; however, formal authorizations or insurance referrals for evaluation and treatment services must be obtained through insurance plans prior to securing an appointment. Services may only be provided once the necessary insurance requirements have been met. Therapy services are intended for short-term intervention and include a transition plan from outpatient hospital services to those within the school systems and/or community settings.

The following are among the types of speech-language disorder areas our speech-language pathologists routinely evaluate and treat:

• Expressive (speaking) and receptive (understanding) language delays and disorders
• Speech sound production disorders
• Social/pragmatic disorders (including autism spectrum disorders)
• Voice and resonance disorders
• Stuttering
• Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMD)
