If you are interested in services, give us a call or book a free 15 minute consult to get started. Before therapy can start, we will schedule an appointment for an evaluation. During this appointment we get an in-depth look at what areas need to be addressed in therapy and develop a plan of care.
SERVICES
We offer evaluations, private one-on-one speech therapy, and parent coaching services. Services are offered in Spanish and English by an experienced pediatric speech therapist.
Speech
We provide comprehensive speech evaluations to determine the sounds your child is having difficulty producing. Once therapy begins, we use evidence-based approaches combined with child-led activities to support your child in developing age-appropriate speech sound production.
Language
Communication skills are essential for your child to communicate wants and needs, play with friends, engage with family, and participate in learning and school. We work with children who are experiencing difficulty understanding and/or using language to support the development of functional communication skills.
