Services
Going on 23 years of experience, SLC Therapy of WNY has gained a reputation for having a responsible, sympathetic, and responsive therapist team.

- Apraxia

In general, SLCWNY services are play based. Because “homework” in Speech Therapy naturally involves learning to use words, we give parents ideas on what they can use in their everyday life to help their child learn.
Examples include:

- Using toy cars to get their child to make articulation sounds
