Speech and Language Therapy Services

Serving children and their families through a dedicated summer therapy program

with year-round evaluations and consultations offered by appointment.

Evaluations & Consultations

Do family members and friends struggle to understand your child? Is your child frustrated because they can’t tell you what they want or need? Are you unsure if your child’s speech is developmentally appropriate for their age? Evaluations and consultations are available year-round to pediatric patients. Families who have concerns about their child’s communication skills can schedule a consultation or full evaluation on an appointment only basis.

Speech Therapy

Beginning in May 2026, we will accept new clients for the upcoming 12 session summer program. Children who are just starting therapy or do not have a current evaluation will be scheduled for a formal evaluation in May 2026. Weekly speech and language therapy services will be provided from June 2nd - August 28th, 2026. A commitment to attend at least 12 sessions will be required to be accepted to the therapy schedule.

Social communication is how we combine and use all of our speech and language skills as we navigate our world and our relationships.
