Services

Speech & Language Evaluation

A comprehensive assessment to understand your child’s communication strengths and challenges. We evaluate speech sounds, receptive and expressive language, and more to create a personalized therapy plan.

Early Intervention (Birth-3)

The first three years are critical for language development. We provide early intervention services to support speech, language, and social skills during this important stage of growth.

Speech Sound Disorders Treatment

Some children struggle with saying certain sounds correctly, which can impact their ability to be understood. We provide specialized therapy to help improve pronunciation, clarity, and overall speech confidence.

Parent and Family Coaching

We empower caregivers with practical strategies to support their child’s communication in everyday life. Through personalized guidance, we help families build confidence, foster meaningful interactions, and turn daily moments into opportunities for language growth. Parents are a child’s greatest teachers—let us help you unlock their full potential.

We bring therapy to you! Whether in the comfort of your home or through virtual sessions, we offer flexible options to fit your schedule and your child’s needs.

Language Delays and Disorders Treatment

If your child has difficulty understanding or using words, sentences, or grammar, we offer targeted support to build strong communication skills. Therapy focuses on vocabulary, sentence structure, and comprehension through meaningful activities.
