Build Stronger Communication Skills for Life
Language is how we understand and connect with others in life. But when language doesn’t come easily, it can affect your ability to learn, your relationships, your career, and much more. The good news is that our speech-language pathologists can help you or your loved one develop strong language skills for successful communication.
At Peninsula Associates Speech Therapy Services, we help children, teens, and adults strengthen their language skills so they can thrive at home, at school, at work, and in the community.
What Is Language Therapy?
Language therapy works on improving your ability to understand others and communicate effectively. It addresses challenges in three key areas:
- Receptive language – the ability to understand spoken or written language, including following directions, understanding questions, and more.
- Expressive language – the ability to use words effectively to express your thoughts, needs, and ideas clearly to others.
- Social pragmatic language – the ability to use language appropriately in social settings, such as taking turns in conversation, reading social cues, understanding body language, and more.
With support from our therapists, language therapy can help you or your loved one build foundational skills that make communication more natural, effective, and meaningful.
