Speech and Language development encompasses a vast array of milestones, even before a child learns to utter his or her first words. Some of the areas that can be addressed through speech therapy are receptive language, expressive language, speech, articulation, and pronunciation. A speech-language pathologist can help from infancy if your child is having difficulty bottle/breast feeding, transitioning to puree’ or table foods, chokes or gags at mealtime, or is showing signs that mealtimes are difficult for many reasons.

Melissa Centofanti, M.S., CCC-SLP., will be conducting screenings here at the Beck Family Campus. You do not need to be present to have your child participate in the screening. If you would prefer to be in the screening with your child, please email Melissa directly to arrange a tele-visit screening. Following the screening, Melissa Centofanti will follow up with you with specific recommendations for your child.
