Effective pronunciation, clarity of speech, word order and message meaning are paramount to fostering greater self-confidence, comprehension, problem-solving, school readiness, social skills, independence, and overall quality of life.
Literacy Tutoring –   Each individual learns to read and develop literacy skills at a different pace.
