Utah Pediatric Speech is a private practice dedicated to providing comprehensive speech and language therapy services to children and adolescents (roughly ages 18 months to 18 years). The lead clinician, certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and licensed in Utah, brings over 35 years of experience working with a wide range of communication disorders — including articulation difficulties, developmental language disorders, childhood apraxia, stuttering, tongue-thrust, hearing impairment, autism spectrum conditions, and cognitive impairments.
Services at Utah Pediatric Speech include comprehensive assessments, individualized speech and language therapy, and specialized programs such as tongue-thrust therapy, articulation, fluency, language development, apraxia therapy, and autism-aware support. For those needing additional evaluation: screenings and assessments help to determine appropriate treatment plans — and existing evaluation information from other sources may also be used where applicable.
Therapy is offered in weekly 30-minute sessions (25 minutes of therapy plus 5 minutes of parent consultation), allowing parents to stay involved and learn supportive activities to reinforce progress at home. The practice also offers a five-week tongue-thrust therapy program (short 5–15 minute sessions), intended to correct tongue posture during swallow, which otherwise can interfere with dental alignment if left untreated.
Utah Pediatric Speech welcomes families for a free phone consultation — a helpful first step for parents concerned about their child’s communication development.
