General Information

Dietrich Speech & Language Services provides a full range of diagnostic testing, treatment and support related to communication delays and disorders. The following sections are not all-encompassing, but do list our most common therapies offered, patient populations and diagnoses treated and services provided.

Parental/caregiver involvement is essential for a child’s communication success. Therefore, parents/caregivers are often encouraged to observe and participate in therapy sessions.
