Boyer
Children’s Clinic
Speech and Language Therapy
Speech pathologists work with infants and young children, individually and
in groups, on the development of early cognitive skills considered necessary
for language development, sound production, and receptive and expressive
language. Non-vocal communication systems such as manual signing, picture
exchange, communication boards, and electronic devices may be implemented
for some children. Specialized treatment to improve oral motor function and
feeding skills is provided primarily by speech pathologists, but may also be
provided by occupational therapists or physical therapists.
Boyer
Children’s Clinic serves children from birth to teen years, with the
majority being age four and younger. Children are referred because of
concern about their development or because they have cerebral palsy or other
neuromuscular delays. Children live primarily in the Seattle area, but also
come from wider geographic areas under special circumstances. The children
served at Boyer Children’s Clinic represent a wide diversity in culture and
race. Families are representative of the diversity present in the Puget
Sound region.
