How We Can Help

Early Intervention for Toddlers & Late Talkers

Let’s work together to help your child communicate in daily routines! Through play-based therapy and parent coaching, your child will express their needs and wants, understand what they are told, grow their vocabulary, and gain confidence. From ages 1-4, children experience rapid growth and development. We make the most of this critical period by laying a strong foundation for language that will last a lifetime!

Speech Therapy for Articulation

Does your child have difficulty making a certain speech sound or speaking clearly? How well are they understood during conversation? We can help shape sounds to be more accurate and increase speech sound intelligibility to communicate his/her thoughts without getting frustrated or avoiding conversation. We will identify your child’s unique challenges and help them master their sounds in speech therapy using motivating activities.

Receptive & Expressive Language Therapy

Language therapy is highly personalized depending on the age, needs, and strengths of your child. Our goal is to create a language-rich environment to support your child in developing a variety of skills needed for academic success - including listening, speaking, reading, and socializing. Regardless of their current skills, we will help them become a confident communicator at home, school, and in the community!

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)

AAC is a form of communication used to support the expression and understanding of language for those with complex communication needs. AAC involves finding the right tools to unlock the world of communication for children who are non-speaking communicators or need assistance communicating. From low-tech to high-tech, we will tailor a personalized system for your child.
