Pediatric Speech and Language Therapy
We provide compassionate and effective identification, treatment and support for childhood communication disorders.
Caring and Connecting
We know that children learn best through play, and that we all learn better when having fun! That is why our therapy is play-based and child-led. We use fun thematic activities to address all different kinds of communication difficulties.
Does my Child Need Speech Therapy?
Just like other abilities and stages of development, the age when children learn to speak can differ. Understanding speech and language development can assist parents in identifying any potential issues.
To better gauge appropriate communication skills for different age groups, explore resources detailing speech, language, and hearing milestones from birth to age five, as well as for school-age children.

At the Minnesota Masonic Children’s Clinic for Communication Disorders, our speech therapy is rooted in play and driven by the child’s interests! Our skilled SLPs craft sessions that allow children to practice specific skills using engaging toys and activities tailored to their preferences.
This approach enhances focus, encourages positive interactions, develops social skills, and creates a natural learning environment to support skill application at home, school, and in the community. Activities during sessions might include functional play, building activities, structured games, physical play, or imaginative play.
