South Coast Ear, Nose & Throat with Dr. Leslie Berghash and Dr. John Lanza can help manage voice disorders for Port St. Lucie, Okeechobee, and Fort Pierce, FL children. We strongly encourage you to contact us ASAP if you notice your child struggling with anything vocally. Early intervention could make a major difference and improve the overall quality of their care.

Helps Improve Results 

 It is essential to start your child on vocal therapy before certain behaviors become embedded in their minds. For example, strengthening a lisp through various lip exercises can strengthen those muscles and help them lose it much faster. As importantly, it can get your child on the right path early and solidify their mastery of essential coping techniques.

Figure Out What’s Wrong Faster

 Though it might seem early to get your child into therapy when they’re two or three years old, doing so helps you figure out what’s wrong faster. Delaying the inevitable or waiting for them to start talking correctly without help just worsens their struggles. As they age, it could impact their self-esteem and linger emotionally for years. They deserve better than that, and our team can help you give them the support they need.
