Let’s get talking!
Child-led
Child-led therapy means we follow your child’s lead during sessions. By engaging in a child’s specific interests or body needs (e.g. crashing, jumping, etc.), sessions become intrinsically motivating and much more meaningful to them. Child-led therapy also improves our ability to form meaningful connections with your child!
Play-based
Play-based therapy is a natural and motivating way to teach and practice speech and language skills. Research has shown that play has a profound impact on linguistic development (as well as several other areas of development). We are masters of disguising language skills and speech sound targets into highly interactive play-based sessions!
Individualized
We are here to help you find the perfect fit when it comes to your child’s communication! We offer a variety of services models such as individual, group, and virtual sessions. We will soon be offering enrichment classes and camps. Each session will be highly personalized and taylored to your child’s specific needs.
