Where Speech, Language & Literacy Meet!
At Pathways I am dedicated to guiding individuals on their journey to communication and literacy success. I am committed to fostering growth, building confidence, and enriching lives, one pathway at a time.
We use a comprehensive and individualized approach to assessments. Our assessment process is designed to gather detailed information about a child's speech, language, and literacy skills in order to identify strengths, areas of need, and develop appropriate intervention plans.
At Pathways Speech, Language & Literacy, we offer evidence-based intervention services tailored to address the unique speech, language, and literacy needs of each child. Our intervention process is collaborative, individualized, and focused on achieving meaningful communication and literacy goals.
Groups, screening, consultation, training, and report writing services are also available at Pathways Speech, Language & Literacy Services.
