What We Do
Bay Area SpeechWorks is a full service speech language pathology clinic serving people of all ages with communication disorders. We are also a non-public agency (NPA) certified by the California Department of Education (CDE) to provide speech-language services to public and nonpublic schools.
In the clinic:
Birth- Three Years
We work with young children ages 0-3 with feeding issues, motor speech disorders (apraxia), expressive and receptive language disorders, and social language-play concerns. Our work is play-based and we always include parents and caregivers. Much of our work with children this age involves parent education.
Preschool
We work with preschool children ages 3-5 who have difficulty with articulation, speech intelligibility, expressive and receptive language, fluency, social skills, auditory processing.
School-Aged
We work with students ages 6-18 in the areas of articulation, expressive and receptive language, motor speech, fluency, voice, written language, narrative language, social cognitive skills, orofacial myology, memory, attention, and executive functions.
Adults
We work with adults ages 19 and up with various communication disorders including those that arise from a traumatic brain injury (TBI) or stroke, fluency, voice, or neuromuscular dysfunction.
