What is Speech and Language Pathology?


At Partners In Excellence, we provide Speech Therapy as a treatment option for our clients at all of our centers. Having Speech in-house makes it easy for our clients to receive important services without needing parents to transport their child to separate appointments. In addition to the convenience factor, Speech and Language Pathologists collaborate directly with our Behavior Therapists throughout the day to provide ongoing coordination. With this team approach, the child is practicing and learning new skills in a variety of settings and has consistency with expectations and behavioral interventions throughout their day.
