Speech and Language Therapy
Helping children with vision impairment reach their greatest communication potential and set them on a course for success.
Speech and language therapy helps build confidence, reduce anxiety and frustration, and can improve the overall quality of life for children with visual impairments.
Vision Forward’s speech and language therapists provide expert evaluation and the latest, most effective therapeutic interventions. Therapy is customized to each child’s needs and provided in a fun, play-based context.
