Our services.

  • Free Phone Consultation

    Concerned that your child may be falling behind in speech or language development? Give us a call for a free brief phone consultation, where you can share your concerns and your child’s strengths and needs. This conversation allows us to ask initial questions and determine whether a screening or full evaluation may be beneficial.

  • Screenings

    We offer in-person speech and language screenings to identify potential areas of concern. This informal process allows us to meet your child or talk with you regarding their communication milestones, complete basic screening tasks, and address any initial questions. After the screening, we’ll discuss the results with you and provide recommendations, including whether a full evaluation is needed.

  • Evaluation

    We provide comprehensive speech and language evaluations for children ages 1-18. A certified Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) will assess your child’s strengths and challenges in speech and/or language using formal assessments, informal observations, and background information. Afterward, you’ll receive a detailed evaluation report with results and recommendations for therapy if needed.

  • Therapy Services

    Individual therapy sessions are tailored to your child’s needs and can be scheduled for 30 or 45 minutes, 1-3 times per week. Sessions focus on targeted speech and language goals using engaging activities and evidence-based strategies. We emphasize family involvement, providing weekly homework and updates to encourage skill development at home. Additionally, we collaborate with parents, teachers, and other professionals to ensure a well-rounded approach to your child’s progress.

What are speech sound disorders?

As children learn to talk, they may mispronounce certain sounds. Some sounds, like p, m, and w, develop early, while others, such as r, v, and th, take longer to master. Speech sound disorders are typically categorized as:

  • Articulation Disorders – When a child has difficulty producing sounds correctly due to improper placement or movement of the lips, tongue, velum, or pharynx.

  • Phonological Disorders – When a child consistently misuses sound patterns, such as replacing k and g with t and d or omitting s in words like stop, skip, or snow.

What is Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS)?

Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is a neurological motor speech disorder that makes it hard for children to speak. Children with the diagnosis of apraxia of speech generally have a good understanding of language and know what they want to say. However, they have difficulty learning or carrying out the complex movements that underlie speech. Apraxia of speech requires consistent therapy with a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) trained in motor speech disorders. With the right support, children with apraxia can make significant progress!

What are expressive language disorders?

Expressive language refers to a child's ability to communicate thoughts, needs, and ideas effectively. Children with expressive language delays may struggle with:

  • Labeling objects and describing events

  • Forming complete sentences

  • Using correct grammar (e.g., saying "I had a drink" instead of "Me drinked")

  • Telling stories and answering questions appropriately

These challenges can lead to frustration when a child feels misunderstood.

What are pragmatic language disorders?

Pragmatic language disorders refer to difficulties with the social use of language, affecting communication skills such as understanding and using verbal and nonverbal cues appropriately. Individuals with PLDs may struggle with conversational skills, nonverbal communication, contextual language use, and figurative language.

These types of language delays are often seen in conditions like autism spectrum disorder (ASD), social communication disorder (SCD), and traumatic brain injuries. Treatment usually involves speech-language therapy to develop social communication skills.

What are receptive language disorders?

Receptive language refers to a child's ability to understand and process spoken language. Children with receptive language difficulties may struggle with:

  • Understanding “wh” questions (who, what, where, why, when)

  • Following multi-step directions

  • Learning and retaining new vocabulary

These difficulties can impact learning, social interactions, and overall communication development.

What Is a Gestalt Language Processor?

A Gestalt Language Processor (GLP) is a child who learns language in chunks or whole phrases rather than single words. Instead of building speech word by word, they acquire and use memorized phrases (or "gestalts") from songs, TV shows, or conversations and later break them down into individual words and flexible language.

Gestalt language processing is common in neurodivergent children, including some autistic children, and differs from the analytic language processing style, where kids learn speech word by word.
