Pediatric Speech Therapy in Bozeman

Welcome to Root Pediatrics, where we provide specialized pediatric speech therapy services to support children in developing their communication skills and reaching their full potential. Our team of speech-language pathologists is dedicated to creating a nurturing and supportive environment for children to thrive.

How Speech Therapy Addresses Sensory Issues

Speech therapy plays a critical role in supporting individuals with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), a condition where the brain has difficulty receiving and responding to sensory information. SPD can affect how a person reacts to sounds, textures, tastes, and other sensory inputs—often impacting communication, feeding, and social engagement.

At Root Pediatrics, our speech therapists are trained to recognize the signs of SPD and develop personalized strategies that accommodate each individual’s sensory needs. We create a calming, structured environment that supports sensory regulation while building speech, language, and communication skills. Whether it’s addressing hypersensitivity to sound that affects speech clarity or oral-motor challenges that influence feeding, our therapists use evidence-based approaches to help individuals feel more comfortable, confident, and connected.
