Speech Therapy
Speech-language pathologists help children build stronger communication, language, and social interaction skills — supporting families across Anoka, Hennepin, Ramsey, Washington, Scott, and Dakota counties. Speech Therapy is provided through Kids Care Inc.’s contracted partner agency.
What Is Speech Therapy?
Helping every child find their voice
Speech therapy supports children who experience delays or differences in communication — from forming sounds and words to holding a conversation or using alternative communication tools. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) build sessions around how your child learns and communicates best. This service is delivered by Kids Care Inc.’s contracted partner agency, not directly by Kids Care Inc. staff, and follows the partner agency’s own evaluation and scheduling process.
