What is play-based therapy?
Play-based therapy involves playful and engaging activities that will naturally target your child’s speech and language goals through play. This approach is child-led, meaning that we follow the child’s lead and see what they are interested in. Play therapy not only helps children improve their speech and language skills, it also promotes cognitive, social, and emotional development.
How often do we come to therapy?
The frequency of speech services recommended can vary depending on your child's individual needs and goals. Children can be seen between once a week to multiple times a week. Frequency will be determined based on factors such as the severity, desired rate of progress and availability.

Do you offer speech screenings?
Yes, we offer speech screenings at local preschools and daycares in the community. These screenings are typically brief assessments to help identify any potential speech or language difficulties and determine if further evaluation or therapy is necessary.
