Our Services
We offer a wide range of speech and language therapy services, addressing everything from developmental delays to adult speech disorders. We offer individual therapy as well as virtual therapy. Below are some of the core areas we specialize in:
Augmentative Alternative Communication (AAC)
Best for if your child has Autism Spectrum Disorder, non-speaking, Down Syndrome, “late talker”, or any other condition impacting verbal communication.
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) refers to tools and strategies that help individuals with speech or communication challenges express themselves. AAC can include high-tech speech-generating devices, low-tech communication boards, and sign language. Whether a child is nonverbal, minimally verbal, has difficulty speaking, or if there’s a gap between your child's receptive language (understanding) and expressive language (output), they may benefit from Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). Whether your child is in the beginning stages of using their AAC or learning the grammatical rules of their robust system, we’re here to help. Our AAC speech therapy will help support:
Communicating effectively using meaningful vocabulary
Promoting independence and social connection
Increasing their expressive language skills to participate academically, socially and functionally across all environments
Build confidence as an independent communicator
We also assist you in selecting an AAC device, getting funding for the device, and using it throughout your child's day through our comprehensive AAC Evaluation service.
Gestalt-Language Processors (GLPs)
Best for children who use echolalia and scripting to communicate, often seen in children who have a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder.
A Gestalt Language Processor is a child who learns language in chunks or “scripts” rather than one word at a time. They often repeat phrases they’ve heard (echolalia) before breaking them down into smaller parts and eventually creating their own unique sentences. Speech therapy for gestalt language processors focuses on honoring these scripts while guiding children through the stages of Natural Language Acquisition (NLA) to develop flexible, independent communication. We specialize in working with individuals who script and use echolalic speech to communicate. During child-led play, we recognize and embrace a child’s natural scripts while introducing new language models to support their progression through the Natural Language Acquisition (NLA) stages—from echolalia to independent, original speech! Our speech therapy services will help your child:
Use language that is universally understood
Feel affirmed and connected using their communication method
Express themselves
Language Therapy
This is best for kids who are late-talkers, receptive-expressive language delays, auditory processing disorders or developmental delays.
Receptive-expressive language therapy helps children who struggle with understanding and using spoken language. Receptive language skills involve understanding words, sentences, and directions, while expressive language skills focus on using words to communicate thoughts, needs, and ideas. If your child has delayed speech milestones, using a limited vocabulary, difficulty following instructions, answering questions, or forming sentences using the accurate grammar, they may benefit from speech-language therapy. Our therapy approach will help your child:
Improve their academic performance and gain confidence in school and social settings
Use age-appropriate vocabulary and grammatical structures
Enhance their communication skills to be age-level
Myofunctional Therapy
Best for children who have articulation disorders, speech difficulties, thumb suckers, tongue thrust or a mouth breather.
Myofunctional therapy focuses on correcting orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMDs), which can affect speech, swallowing, breathing, and tongue posture. Through targeted orofacial exercises, speech therapy for myofunctional disorders strengthens the tongue and facial muscles, promoting proper breathing, swallowing, and speech production for long-term oral health and communication success. We are trained and certified in Myofunctional therapy which will help your child:
Improve their speech sound errors
Eliminate their oral habits
Gain confidence when communicating
Literacy Support
Best for children who have a learning disability, speech and language delays, Dyslexic, and/or need additional literacy support.
Literacy therapy helps children develop essential reading and writing skills by strengthening their phonological awareness, decoding, comprehension, and expressive language. Our speech therapist is Orton-Gillingham trained. The Orton-Gillingham approach empowers educators to develop an individualized, structured, multisensory plan to teach reading and vocabulary skills. Orton-Gillingham is a step-by-step learning process involving letters and sounds that encourages students to advance upon each smaller manageable skill learned throughout the process. It was the first approach to use explicit, direct, sequential, systematic, multi-sensory instruction to teach reading, which is effective for all students and essential for teaching students with dyslexia. Our literacy therapy will help your child:
Build their foundational literacy skills
Feel confident in school during literacy activities
Improve their reading fluency and written expression
Articulation and Phonological Therapy
Best for children with speech sound errors, unclear speech, difficulty with pronunciation, or overall communication.
Articulation and phonological disorders affect a child’s ability to produce speech sounds correctly, making their speech difficult to understand. Articulation disorders involve difficulty pronouncing specific sounds (e.g., saying “wabbit” instead of “rabbit”), while phonological disorders involve patterns of sound errors (e.g., omitting final consonants or simplifying complex sounds). Our therapy approach will help your child:
speech clarity, pronunciation, and overall communication skills.
Gain confidence in their communication skills with peers
Use all age-appropriate speech sounds in words and sentences
Reduce frustration from not being understood
Speak clearly and express their wants, needs and ideas independently
