  • "Play is the highest form of speech"

    ~ unknown

  • "A treatment method or an educational method that will work for one child may not work for another child. The common denominator for all of the young children is that early intervention does work, and seems to improve the progress."

    ~ Temple Grandin

How it All Works

  • We will do a consult call to learn more about your child and discuss how we can help with their communication needs.

  • Schedule our Foundation Session through our online schedule app. All documents can be completed online through this secure app. This session is about getting to know your child. We will use fun activities, games or questions to see your child’s strengths and how we will be able to best help your child with their communication,

  • Start your therapy sessions. You can schedule your child’s appointment online through the app or at the end of each session. Recommendation will be provided for a treatment schedule.

  • Watch your child’s communication grow through fun and engaging activities.
