At Parlo Speech Lab, we believe every child deserves to find their voice and flourish. Guided by our mission to empower children through individualized care, we provide evidence-based pediatric speech, language, and feeding therapy in El Paso, Texas and Horizon City. Through our holistic, patient-centered approach, we partner with families and tailor sessions to each child’s unique needs and interests. In our warm and playful environment, therapy feels like fun—helping children build strong communication skills with confidence.
Whether your child is a toddler beginning to babble or a teen working on social skills, our certified speech-language pathologists are here to guide and support them every step of the way.
Articulation Disorders
Children with articulation disorders may substitute, omit, add, or distort speech sounds, making their speech difficult to understand. Our therapists use play-based and evidence-based approaches to help your child learn accurate speech sound production.
- Key Benefits:
- Clearer speech
- Improved confidence in speaking
- Stronger foundation for literacy and learning
Phonological Disorders
Phonological disorders involve predictable speech sound errors affecting entire classes of sounds. Therapy focuses on helping children understand sound patterns and apply correct rules across words.
- Key Benefits:
- Enhanced overall intelligibility
- Reduced frustration in daily communication
- Better long-term academic outcomes
Language Disorders
These include both expressive (speaking) and receptive (understanding) language difficulties. We help children develop vocabulary, grammar, comprehension, and storytelling skills using engaging, evidence-based methods.
- Key Benefits:
- Expanded ability to express needs and ideas
- Improved understanding of instructions and concepts

Pragmatic Disorders (Social Communication)
Pragmatic disorders affect how a child uses language in social situations. We teach turn-taking, topic maintenance, body language awareness, and more through role-playing, social stories, and structured interactions.

Fluency Disorders (Stuttering & Cluttering)
Children who stutter or clutter may have trouble speaking smoothly. They might repeat sounds or words (repetitions), stretch out sounds (prolongations), get stuck before speaking (blocks), talk too quickly, leave out sounds or syllables, or speak in a way that feels disorganized or hard to follow.
