Treatment Areas
Early Intervention
Happy Hearts is dedicated to providing early intervention and child-centered therapy for children ages 3 and under who are experiencing delays in receptive and expressive language. Through tailored therapy plans and a play-based approach, we collaborate closely with each child and their family to nurture their communication skills and lay the foundation for future success.
Articulation and Phonology
Articulation and phonology therapy is designed for children who struggle with producing speech sounds correctly. Through targeted sessions, we focus on improving speech clarity, helping children pronounce sounds more accurately, and building their confidence in communication. By addressing these foundational skills, we empower children to express themselves more effectively and be better understood in both social and academic settings.
Receptive and Expressive Language
Effective communication is a cornerstone of your child’s development, influencing their ability to learn, socialize, and succeed. At Happy Hearts, we offer specialized therapy that targets both receptive language (the ability to understand spoken or written communication) and expressive language (the ability to convey thoughts, ideas, and needs). Our approach helps children build a strong foundation in communication, enhancing their confidence and ability to navigate everyday interactions, while supporting their growth in academic and social environments.
Orofacial Myology/ Myofunctional Therapy
Myofunctional Therapy is a specialized approach designed to correct oral muscle movements and enhance overall oral function in children ages 4 and up. This intervention targets various issues, including tongue thrusting while eating and drinking and open-mouth posture while breathing. By addressing these concerns, Myofunctional Therapy aims to promote healthier oral habits and improve overall oral health. Myofunctional Therapy is additionally effective in helping to eliminate oral habits, such as thumb sucking.
