    About Our Speech & Language Programs

    Jackson Jade's Speech Pathology team provides comprehensive evaluations and treatment to individuals with speech, language, cognitive, fluency & voice delays and disorders.

     

    We approach therapy by targeting the patient’s underlying medical condition which can be related to developmental, cognitive &/or neurological impairment. This in-turn supports optimal progress, performance, and independence as we lay a solid foundation for more advanced skills to be learned. Jackson Jade therapy sessions are personally tailored to meet the needs of each client with programs updated as progress is made.

     

    Our patients report rapid results that have dramatically improved their quality of life. Improvements in areas such as cognition, language comprehension and expression, social development and relationships, emotional well being, and parent and teacher recognized academic success have been a direct outcome of our intensive treatment programs.

    Types of Challenges We Help!

    The following is a list of the most common areas of speech pathology related challenges we treat. If there is an area of need that you have that isn't listed, please reach out and we will let you know if we can assist or provide you a referral to the right professional!

     

     

    ADHD/ADD
    ADHD and ADD are often recognized by an individual's above normal hyperactivity levels, impulsive behaviors, and/or lack of focus or attention. These symptoms are often first recognized as they cause disruption in home routines and academic settings, however what goes silently unrecognized are the underlying language challenges the individual is having such not understanding directions and unable to follow them; difficulty organizing, planning and executing tasks which makes it difficult to follow activities through to completion; disorganization resulting in lost homework, completed homework not turned-in, and incomplete assignments; social challenges due to impulsivity and often not "saying the right thing", etc. Individual's who present with ADHD/ADD are regularly mistaken as "not listening" or intentionally being defiant.

    Articulation
    Articulation impairments are characterized by an inability or difficulty producing certain sounds which makes speech hard to understand. For example, one of the most common errors in small children is the sound "f" (child will say"pish" when trying to say "fish"). Another very common error is the "r" ("wed" instead of "red"). Articulation disorders can affect children and adults alike.

    Aphasia
    Aphasia results in the loss of the ability to understand and/or express language due to injury or illness. It can have devastating affects on communication skills, memory, ability to read, write, tell time, complete mathematical calculations, etc.

     
    Apraxia
    Individuals with apraxia are unable to perform familiar movements on command. Apraxia can affect the tongue, fingers, arms, and legs making it difficult or impossible to complete routine tasks such as talking, eating, writing, brushing your hair and walking
     

    Autism 

    Autism is a developmental disorder that impairs an individual's ability to efficiently communicate and interact within their environment. There is a broad spectrum of severity including mild to severe and affects males and females.

These impairments can affect verbal and written language and can extend to challenges with reading and reading comprehension
     

    Phonological Processing Disorder

    There are 46 sounds in the English language which are categorized into groups of patterns according to how we produce them, parts of our mouth we use, and the use of our voice when producing.
