Speech Therapy

Effective communication fosters strong connections. When your patient struggles to express themselves, you can rely on our pediatric speech therapy team to provide the support they need, just a referral away.

About Us

From birth, children develop communication skills in various ways—from making eye contact to gesturing and eventually forming words and sentences. When communication challenges arise due to language disorders or medical conditions, our pediatric speech therapy team is here to help.

At Children's Nebraska, our experienced speech therapists specialize in helping children communicate effectively. We work with children of all ages and create personalized care plans designed to meet the unique needs of each child.
