Language Express Services
Language Express provides both telepractice and in-person services. Your Language Express Speech-Language Pathologist will talk with you about what will work best for you and your child. Many families access both types of service. Please call the Language Express office for more information at 1-888-503-8885 or check out our Information for Newly Referred Parents.
