Ramsdell Speech Pathology, LLC is ready to help with personalized speech therapy for your child that is both fun and functional. Here is more information about my areas of specialty.

Speech Sound Disorders

Articulation Disorder: Difficulty producing specific speech sounds correctly due to problems with the physical movement of the mouth.

Phonological Disorder: Patterns of sound errors where a child simplifies speech by following rules that aren't typical for their age (like saying "tat" for "cat").

Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS): A motor planning disorder where the brain struggles to coordinate the movements needed for clear speech, even though the muscles are not weak.

Executive Functioning

Executive functioning is the brain’s management system. It helps children start tasks, stay focused, remember instructions, control their emotions, and organize their thoughts. These skills are important for learning, communicating, and handling everyday routines.

Children develop speech and language by watching, listening, and interacting with the adults around them—but this process depends on their ability to perceive, focus, attend, remember, retrieve and respond. When executive functioning is challenged, it can impact how children take in language, follow directions, and express themselves effectively.
