ABOUT our
Services
Speak 2 Me Speech & Language Therapy provides family-centered therapy services for children birth to 21 years. Services can be provided one-on-one in the environment of choice (Birth - 21), within the Early Steps program (Birth - 3), or as a staffing service for school districts and/or individual public, private or charter schools. Our team specializes in early language development and intervention, language delays and disorders, articulation disorders, phonological delays and disorders, childhood apraxia of speech, social communication, and Autism Spectrum Disorder.
We begin therapy with a thorough assessment to help us determine the contributing factors of a child presenting challenges. Following the evaluation, we collaborate with parents to develop a treatment plan with individual goals. Once therapy begins, every session is thoughtfully planned to engage your child in learning and ensure they are having fun! Speak 2 Me encourages family involvement throughout the therapy process to support ongoing practice and the carry-over of skills to the home, community, and academic environments.
