Services
Speech Therapy
Our speech therapy focuses on improving articulation and phonological skills in children. We address difficulties with producing speech sounds, syllables, and words clearly. Through engaging activities and evidence-based techniques, we help children develop intelligible speech that enhances their overall communication abilities.
Expressive Language
This service targets children's ability to use words, sentences, and grammar effectively. We work on vocabulary development, sentence structure, and narrative skills to improve their capacity to express thoughts and ideas. Our therapists use play-based and structured activities to build functional communication skills.
Receptive Language
We address difficulties understanding spoken language, including following instructions and grasping abstract concepts. Our therapy focuses on improving comprehension skills through visual supports and interactive activities that enhance children's ability to process and respond to verbal information.
Pragmatics
This service develops children's social communication skills, including conversation rules and perspective-taking. We use role-play and group activities to teach appropriate social interactions, helping children understand nonverbal cues and maintain meaningful conversations with peers and adults.
Communication Assessments
Our comprehensive assessments evaluate all aspects of a child's communication abilities. Using standardized tests and observational techniques, we identify strengths and challenges in speech, language, and social communication. This thorough evaluation forms the basis for personalized intervention plans tailored to each child's needs.

Stefanie was amazing with my son when she assessed him. Even afterwards she called to let us know the progress. The total level of care and the quick level of trust she built with him in the short amount of time they had was amazing. Just an amazing practice.

Even though my son is usually disruptive, and cant concentrate for a long period, I am so appreciative of my son having Tanya Boyd as his Speech Pathologist. No only is my son now trying to say and pronounce words and its trial and error on days where he can or can't do the words, he is willing to try sight and sound recognition will get there with the 100% helpful Dedication of Tanya. Thank you so much
