At Growing In Speech, our mission is to empower children with the confidence and skills to communicate clearly and effectively. Through personalized, evidence-based speech and language therapy, we support each child’s unique journey in articulation, phonological awareness, and literacy development. We are committed to providing a nurturing and engaging environment—both in-person and virtually—where children can build strong communication foundations that last a lifetime. Our goal is to make learning fun, functional, and transformative, helping every child find their voice and reach their full potential.

In-Home Speech Therapy: Learning in a Natural Environment

Providing speech therapy in a child’s home allows for a comfortable and familiar setting, making learning more engaging and meaningful. By working within the child’s natural environment, therapy can be tailored to their daily routines, favorite activities, and family interactions. This approach helps children generalize new communication skills more effectively, as they are practiced in real-life situations rather than a clinical setting. In-home therapy also allows for collaboration with caregivers, siblings, and other family members, ensuring that speech and language strategies are seamlessly incorporated into the child’s everyday life. If you are not located within my current in home area of service or have limitations with in home services, I also offer virtual speech therapy.

Virtual Speech Therapy: Building Skills with Technology 

Virtual speech therapy offers a convenient and highly engaging way for children to receive expert speech and language support from the comfort of home. One of the biggest advantages of online therapy is the vast variety of interactive games, digital resources, and multimedia tools available to keep children motivated and actively participating. From virtual flashcards and interactive storybooks to speech sound games and digital whiteboards, sessions are designed to be dynamic and personalized to each child's needs. These online tools make learning fun while reinforcing essential communication skills in an engaging and effective way. 

At Growing In Speech, our therapy sessions encourage strong parental involvement, which is key to long-term progress and skill carryover. Parents have the opportunity to observe and participate in sessions, learning hands-on strategies to support their child's communication growth outside of therapy. By integrating these techniques into daily routines, such as mealtime conversations or bedtime reading, children can reinforce and generalize their speech and language skills more naturally. We strive to provide an effective and flexible approach to helping children build lifelong communication skills.
