Language Pathologists work on vocabulary and literacy development in children
The Jacksonville Speech & Hearing Center’s speech/language pathologists treat children daily whose language skills present as delayed or disordered. It is a well documented fact that failure to develop adequate language and listening skills early in a child’s life can impact his/her ability to learn reading and writing skills such as vocabulary, basic concepts, auditory processing, auditory discrimination and numerous other skills necessary to succeed in school.
Our role at the Jacksonville Speech and Hearing Center is not only to provide individualized services to help these children develop age appropriate speech and language skills, but also to educate the parents or caregivers on how to promote speech, language and listening skills in the home. Laying this important speech/language foundation for a child is imperative for his/her future success in school and in life.
