Speech Therapy

Parents and children need to communicate.

It’s every parent’s dream to be able to communicate with their child.

Every parent wants to experience having their child come home from school and hear them talk about their day.

At some point, you might experience your child running inside with a bruised knee from riding their bike, and you will want to know how they got hurt.

Reading stories and hearing about their ideas and thoughts about what will happen next are parts of the bonding experience between parent and child.

Communicating shouldn’t be this hard!

Trying to talk with your child leaves both of you frustrated and confused.

You are not sure why your child has difficulty communicating, and there appears to be no easy way to proceed.

It’s challenging for them to tell you what they want to eat or drink or describe a story.

The social, emotional, mental, and physical impact is taking a toll on you and your child.

If communication is lacking, parents should seek help.

Communicating is one of the most vital life skills, and Speech-Language Pathologists (SLP) can help when your child fails to develop at the expected pace. Partnering with your Speech-Language Pathologist provides relief, comfort and helps ease the stress of dealing with your child’s speech alone.

I help children find their voice when their voice is lost, providing hope to both parent and child.

Imagine hearing that story about how they hurt their skinned knee, learning how they had the best day ever at school in art class, or having them tell you how the story will end. Imagine hearing that voice you never thought you would hear as they slowly learn to communicate with you.

Ah, the stress and frustration have decreased finally. Now, each day things like going to the store, cleaning up, and talking with your child are hard.

Let’s work together – for the sake of you and your child.

Let’s partner work to boost your child’s self-confidence and overall communication. For your child, speech therapy will take place in a one-on-one setting.

Speech therapy exercises and activities will vary depending on your child’s disorder, age, and needs.

Our approach involves addressing goals and key concerns through play.

Other types of interaction include talking, playing, and using books, pictures, or other objects as part of language intervention to help stimulate language development. We will model correct sounds and syllables for your child during age-appropriate play to teach the child how to make certain sounds.

We also will provide strategies and homework so you and your child can practice at home.

Together, we will achieve the success that lasts a lifetime.

Play is the most powerful tool for helping a child discover their world, build relationships, and learn language skills. When children play, they explore the world and build on their understanding of the natural and social environments.

I believe it’s essential to make the work feel fun. Our approach involves the therapist consistently checking in and adjusting to the child/patient’s needs. It is also important to meet your child where they are and adapt when things don’t work.

Through play, patience, and flexibility, we can gain your child’s trust and establish a strong rapport, leading to fast progress.

Your dream of having wonderful and meaningful conversations with your child can come true. Speech therapy is a proven approach for improving your child’s communication.
