GETTING STARTED
Connect
Begin with a free phone consultation with our licensed SLP. During this initial conversation, we'll discuss your concerns, answer any questions, and determine possible next steps, which may include an evaluation, therapy, resource sharing, referrals, or time to consider your options.
Evaluate
If your child has not had a speech-language evaluation in the past year, we recommend starting with a comprehensive assessment. This includes observing your child’s speech and language abilities, gathering detailed history, and utilizing standardized tools to identify specific needs.
Treat
Our therapy sessions are engaging and tailored to your child's unique interests, strengths, and needs. We use a child-centered approach with one-on-one therapy, as well as caregiver education, to build effective and meaningful communication skills within a natural, playful environment.

“Beneath every behavior there is a feeling. And beneath each feeling is a need. And when we meet that need, rather than focus on the behavior, we begin to deal with the cause, not the symptom.”
