A Speech Therapist Builds Communication Skills

To put it simply, a speech therapist is a licensed, accredited professional who specializes in dealing with speech disorders, language disorders, social communication disorders, or cognitive-communication disorders. Here at Reading With Results, our main focuses are speech disorders, language disorders, and social communication disorders.

Communication is key to developing relationships in life, and without proper communication skills, your child may find it harder to develop those relationships. That’s why at Reading With Results, we build and perfect the foundational pieces of communication. This way, your child can take those foundational skills and apply them to whatever they may struggle with in the future.

Foundational communication skills are only part of what a speech therapist deals with here at Reading With Results. In fact, we offer several in-depth approaches to specific struggles. 

A Speech Therapist Tailors Their Plan

Here at Reading With Results, we realize that everybody is different. That’s why when your child is working with a speech therapist, we tailor our lesson plans to their individual needs and goals.

Our teaching style is designed to help our students progress as quickly as possible, while going as slow as they need. Whether you’re looking for in-person tutoring or a virtual session from the comfort of your own home, our time-proven method stays the same.

  • Receptive & Expressive Language Delays/Disorders
    • Limited Words or Vocabulary
    • Difficulty Following Directions
