Speech Therapy

Communication creates meaningful bonds. So, when your child struggles to express themselves, it’s good to know our pediatric speech therapy team is nearby to help.

About Us

Beginning at birth, children learn to communicate in a variety of ways from locking eyes with you to gesturing and, eventually, forming words and sentences. When your child has difficulty communicating, such as from a language disorder or medical condition, our pediatric speech therapists are here to help.

At Children's Nebraska, our speech therapists are experts in helping children communicate. Our team works with children of all ages and creates customized care plans tailored to each child.

To make an appointment, you’ll need a referral from your child’s primary care or specialty provider. Once you have a referral, contact us to schedule an appointment.
