A Safe, Supportive Space for Growth
Play-Based, Relationship-Focused, and Neurodiversity-Affirming
We create a space where therapy feels gentle and encouraging. Through play-based learning, relationship-focused strategies, and a neurodiversity-affirming lens, we help individuals find the tools that work best for them — and empower families along the way.
Evaluation & Therapy Services Include:
Before therapy begins, we offer comprehensive assessments to better understand your child or loved one’s strengths, challenges, and communication style. Evaluations help us create customized goals and effective treatment plans.
Initial
Evaluations
Speech & Language Therapy
For individuals who need support with receptive or expressive language in everyday life — including vocabulary, grammar, following directions, and social communication.
We work with gestalt language processors who use scripts or echolalia to communicate. Our NLA-based approach supports their natural language development and progression toward self-generated language.
AAC (Augmentative & Alternative Communication)
For non-speaking individuals or those with limited verbal skills, we offer support with AAC systems — from picture boards to communication apps and speech-generating devices — so every person has a voice that works for them.
For individuals with motor planning difficulties affecting speech, we use targeted, evidence-based approaches to help coordinate the movements needed for clear, functional communication.
Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS)
Articulation & Phonological Speech Sound Disorders
We help children and adults develop clearer speech by addressing sound errors or patterns that make speech difficult to understand.
