Pediatric Speech Therapy Services
Southern Ocean Rehabilitation Services provides comprehensive evaluations for children from infancy through adolescents to develop treatment interventions aimed at maximizing your child’s growth and independence. Our clinicians are experienced in treating speech and language disorders, voice dysfunction and pediatric feeding and swallowing disorders.
Our clinicians conduct both formal and informal assessment measures to identify your child’s strengths and areas of improvement. Following the evaluation we develop a treatment plan specific to the unique goals of the child and their family. We are trained to treat a wide variety of speech, language, voice, and feeding deficits.
