Speech therapy for kids
Communication and language skills start from birth. We support clients with virtual based speech therapy services for speech production, stuttering, social skills, understanding language, expressive language, use of AAC devices, and picky or selective eating. Sessions are all virtual, so you are seen from the comfort of your own home.

What we help with
For babies and toddlers who are not yet talking or have only a few words, or who need support with understanding language and communicating their basic wants and needs.
For kids who have difficulty pronouncing certain words and sounds or who are difficult to understand when they speak.
For kids and teens who have difficulties with fluent speech production. We can help with strategies to support fluency and the confidence in your communication skills.
For kids who have difficulty interacting with other kids, taking turns in play or in conversations, understanding emotions, nonliteral language, or picking up on tone of voice.
For kids who are non-speaking who may benefit from use of a low or high tech device to support communication. Our goal is not to replace verbal communication but to provide alternative methods of communicating wants and needs. We can work with a device that you already have access to, or support with a full evaluation for a new device.
For kids who are selective eaters or picky eaters. They may eat only a few foods, eliminate whole food groups from their diet, refuse to try new foods, and/or gag on new foods, flavors and textures.
Online sessions
Online speech therapy looks a lot like play. You and your child will sit together in your natural environment using their own toys, while your speech therapist provides in-the-moment coaching and guides you through the screen.
Sessions may look like playing games on the screen, video activities, or home-based scavenger hunts and activities to target their specific speech goals.
As clients get older, we want to include them in the process for determining what to work on based on what is important to them and how they want to structure our sessions together.
Between sessions, you will be assigned simple activities and tasks that you can easily fit into your schedule at home, whether that is in the car on the way to soccer practice, during meal times, or play activities.
Does it work by video?
Studies have found video speech therapy can work about as well as in-person therapy for many needs. It works best when a parent takes part with young kids.
Kids seen by video made gains similar to kids seen in person on most measures.

Working with other services
If your child is receiving school-based speech therapy services, they are still able to receive services from our private practice. With a release of information form, we can coordinate with your child's school based therapist.
How it worksFor kids under 3 years old, they may qualify for your state's early intervention program, and it is important to find out if they are eligible to receive additional services from a private practice.

Still wondering about something? A free 15-minute call is a good place to ask.
If you, your pediatrician or a teacher is worried about how your child eats, talks, understands, or plays with other kids, we recommend a full speech therapy evaluation to complete testing, observations and review your concerns with a licensed speech therapist.
There's no minimum age for speech therapy. We can see babies and toddlers for early communication skills and feeding skills, and kids up to 17 for any other speech, language, communication or feeding concerns.
As the parent, caregiver or guardian, you are a big part of how and why this works. The goal of virtual therapy is to work closely with a licensed speech therapist and to gain the knowledge and education to support your child at home.
Yes! Children who receive school based services are still eligible and can qualify to receive private speech therapy services in addition to school services. Upon signing a release of information form, we can communicate with your child's school based therapist and coordinate care on what is being worked on in both settings to further support your child.
Most families start with a 60-minute evaluation. If you'd rather talk first, book a free 15-minute call and ask us anything.
