Evaluation and Therapy Services
Our Approach to Therapy
Our speech therapy sessions are child-led and play-based, grounded in the belief that meaningful growth happens through connection, curiosity, and trust. We follow the child’s lead during sessions—because every child is unique—but always with clear therapeutic intention and purpose.
Each session is tailored to the individual needs of the child, guided by their interests and developmental stage. By creating an engaging environment, we foster connection first—because strong relationships are the foundation for meaningful progress.
We also value the vital role of parents and caregivers in a child’s development. That's why we actively involve families in the therapeutic process, whether by joining sessions, providing regular progress updates, or offering practical strategies to support growth at home. You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of your child’s needs, along with tools and ideas to nurture progress between sessions.
Our work is collaborative, compassionate, and always centered on your child’s well-being.
Evaluations
Our speech therapy evaluations are designed to give us a comprehensive picture of your child’s communication skills, including their strengths, challenges, and unique interests. We take a holistic approach to understanding how your child communicates in everyday settings.
The evaluation process includes:
Gathering information from parents and caregivers to understand your child’s history, development, and daily communication.
Observing and interacting with your child through play-based, engaging activities that feel natural and comfortable.
Collecting a speech and language sample to assess how your child uses and understands language in real time.
We look beyond standardized scores to truly understand how your child connects, expresses themselves, and interacts with the world. The insights gained during this evaluation help us create meaningful goals and guide any recommended therapy in a way that’s tailored to your child and your family.

Speech Sound Disorders
Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) Phonological/Articulation Disorders
Speech Therapy helps children who have difficulty pronouncing sounds correctly, making their speech hard to understand. This may include challenges with articulation (saying individual sounds), phonological processes (patterns of sound errors), or motor speech (difficulty planning and coordinating the movements needed for speech). Therapy is tailored to each child’s needs and focuses on improving:
Confidence in speaking
Clarity & accuracy
Language Disorders
Does your child have difficulty understanding and/or using spoken language? This can include challenges with following directions, answering questions, forming sentences, using vocabulary, or telling stories. Through interactive, play-based activities, children will learn to:
Communicate more effectively
Participate in conversations
Succeed in social and academic settings (reading & writing)
We also specialize in working with gestalt language learners or children who use echolalia and scripting to communicate. Reach out to learn more!
Augmentative & Alternative Communication
AAC therapy supports individuals who have limited speech by providing alternative ways to communicate. This may include picture boards, speech-generating devices, sign language, or other tools tailored to the individual's needs. AAC therapy will help your child:
Build confidence
Communicate their wants/needs and ideas
Participate in meaningful interactions
Promote independence
We will support you in selecting a device, getting funding, and teaching you how to use the device throughout the day and in your child’s daily routines.
Fluency & Stuttering
Speech therapy for fluency and stuttering focuses on developing strategies to improve speech fluency, manage moments of stuttering, and build effective communication skills. Sessions are personalized and supportive, addressing both the physical aspects of speech and the emotional impact of stuttering. The goal is to help individuals speak with greater ease and confidence in everyday situations.
