Articulation and Motor Speech
The way we pronounce words has a significant impact on our success as communicators. The way we sound affects not only how well we are understood, but our listeners' perceptions as well as our self confidence. At Bowden Speech and Language Therapy we focus on identifying and rectifying the cause of misarticulation for functional, lasting results. |

Understanding and Using Language
From our first words, understanding and using language defines so much of what it means to be human. Early identification and treatment of language delay in children has been shown to significantly impact a child's communication, reading and self-confidence as they grow. |

Parent Coaching
Gone are the days of the expert speech-language pathologist treating a child for one hour a week while the parents sit in the waiting room, completely in the dark about how to help their child. And we couldn't be more thrilled! At Bowden Speech and Language we see families as the primary "therapists" to their children. As such, we are committed to training parents and caregivers to help their children develop their language and communication skills in the home environment. |

Social Communication Therapy
At the heart of every human conversation is the desire to interact in some way with another person. The reason why we communicate with others is the underpinning for all written, spoken and signed languages. Social communication difficulties refer to gaps in the ability to interact with others. SLPs are skilled in identifying these gaps and helping children and adults to learn and develop these abilities. |

Group Therapy
What better way to work on interacting with others, than to practice doing it! Bowden Speech and Language offers a range of group therapy sessions, focusing on skills such as social communication, language development and play skills. |

Literacy Therapy and Support
Learning to read and spell can be a daunting task for many of our early learners. At Bowden Speech and Language Therapy, we utilize a structured, multi-sensory approach to literacy instruction designed to meet learners where they are and build skills in a positive, success-driven way. |

Fluency and Voice Therapy
Humans' ability to communicate using the vibrations of two tiny vocal folds is one of our most unique abilities. The ability to produce strings of speech using our vocal folds and articulators is a skill often taken for granted. Fluency therapy focuses on enabling speakers to communicate confidently and efficiently in a variety of situations, using a range of fluency enhancing targets. Voice therapy aims to restore a person's use of the voice they feel defines them. |
